Metro (2013)

Touches You

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

In Metro, a breach in the old subway system of Moscow lets water pour in, trapping an entire rush hour subway train underground. The crash scenes are spectacular and the rest of the film follows a small group of survivors trying to get to the surface.This is what Stallone's Daylight should have been. There is no heroic saviour that solves everyone's problems, but everybody for themselves. The tension, the interaction between the characters, the very beautiful Svetlana Khodchenkova and Katerina Shpitsa and a kind of over the top coincidence involving a love triangle, they all bring quality to the film.At more than two hours long, I can say that I did not feel the desire to fast forward even once, which is very rare. The Russian references have that sad/funny feel about them. You could laugh at them if you didn't have to go through them yourself, and then it's kind of sad, but you appreciate the recognition.Bottom line: get yourself a decent translation (unfortunately I did not have one) and watch Metro. Its flaws are minimal, mainly related to acting, and you can easily enjoy the film from start to end.

From the cinematic point of view, this is a pretty good movie, and it shows excellent craftsmanship and directing skills. This is a showcase of capabilities of Russian filmmakers and production facilities that won't get unnoticed by international distribution and producing circles.There are, however, numerous inconsistencies and illogical situations in the script that require a HUGE suspension of disbelief for people who are familiar with how the subway system functions.Other than that, there are normal for this genre stereotyped characters, a love triangle, and, of course, a catastrophe itself that changes everything...

Tonight I watched the movie "Metro" in Russian language. Though I do not understand a word of Russian; still I enjoyed the movie a lot. All the actors played their role perfectly; which shows their talent and experience in the field of acting. The running time of the movie was 131 minutes and as it was in 1080p Blu-ray, I did not took a single minute rest till the completion of the movie. I gave that 9 out of 10; as it looks so real and the direction and the photography was excellent. I really appreciate the cast for a job well done! The acting of the father the daughter and was commendable. The acting of the cheating wife and her repent in the end was really worth watching. I recommend this movie to those viewers who either understand or don't understand the Russian language.

Strangely enough, but this new domestic film has neither intrusive nor «productplacement' well, no mugger or special guest stars from the west (Delon, Trejo), who do not read the script, and look only at the amount of the fee. And even Russian critics, surveying the film gave him good reviews (17 positive reviews to 3 negative) In the three-dimensionality of negative criticism of the characters and as it turned out they did not exaggerate.The main characters of the film. Garin (Sergei Puskepalis). Daughter father, a surgeon, a dedicated doctor, day and night is very busy in order to provide his family a decent living. Here we see how he saves the boy as he deals with his daughter, he is faithful to his family and to his wife even though her infidelity, it knows about (described below in more detail). Writers movie direct text called it "chode." Seriously. He comes into the car of the train, standing in front of the window and reads on the glass either scratched, or painted finger on the cold glass the word "nerd." To which our hero smirks looking down, as if resigned to the fact that it is about him, thinking, "Yes, yes, I am"Irina. Garin's wife (Svetlana Khodchenkova). From the very beginning of the film we are shown her in bed with her lover. She has an orgasm and suddenly remembers that she has a daughter and a husband who loved her and wrong what she was doing. After that, she's forgotten all about it and lust takes its toll. In general this is all that can be said about the character Khodchenkova. Of course, in addition to that, she goes to work, too, brings money to the family, where she has a true "friend" (that's in quotes) which shares with her scrubs and face creams for the skin, and her friend informed her cheating husband, and details of its private life tells her directly what she flirt, a bad mother, and that word with the letter "N" on the heroine Khodchenkova offended, go away, but the cream and facial scrub takes in his arms.Wife's lover Garin. Konstantinov (Anatoly Bely) just a wealthy young man with an uncertain activity with the expensive car, foreign car, wants her to be with him.The most disgusting, that's all that can be said about the three main characters of the film "Underground", and further, these characters can not be explaining themselves. Other faces of the film they are either the same one-dimensional (a thief in the subway, a smiling policeman grim policeman, rescue officers, a drunkard and a subway worker two in one "Sergeeich") or just the extras half of which will be lost under the yelling and touching music.As a result, disaster film frustrating not bad shots or unreality, a character who does not want to sympathize, because they no. There is truth young couple Dennis and Alice who ironically want to empathize, why they let the story line and not take up more screen time period pretty interesting.
