A touching story all over the two hours, not just in the end. Intrigues - all over the movie, not just in the start. The end of the story - it may end at any moment, and it would still be great. No particular connection to Moscow, Russia, subterranean train - it can be anywhere, any time. People meet each other, struggle, about to die, struggle, survive, get to know each other on a new perspective.It's a "must pause" every time you go to the bathroom. 'Cause even without the "subway drama", it's still a deepest drama, and it would rise your sentiments to a whole new level. 9 out of 10, but it starts from 9.

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.

The movie has its mood. Great effects, simple, but nice story, some tension equally distributed between private and main disaster. I was engaged in watching, in the story. Also - great camera work, great pictures.What I didn't like is the part where some passengers were electrocuted, well, I'm an electrician and I don't understand why did it happen WHEN it happened. The lights in cars were lit - so why nobody got electrocuted as soon as they started to get out and there was water all over? Then - the control crew tried to TURN OFF the power from the tracks, and it looked like they turned it on instead. It makes no sense, I haven't understood this part. I know, it probably was like they failed to turn off the power (due to some technical malfunction), but still it doesn't add up.Last but not least - I didn't like the acting of the actress playing Irina. She wasn't very convincing, especially running like hell with her stilettos. Is it even possible? If it is, she is a good runner ;) Andrey and Garin characters were very convincing. They did a great job. In my opinion their part was the main part. Though their story may look trivial, it's leaves some thoughts.Not outstanding, but a very good movie worth watching.

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...
