David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Filmmaker Besson kicks Subway off with a visceral and thoroughly exciting car chase that's not, unfortunately, indicative of what's to follow...

Ed . I hear that plans for a sequel, Manhole, fell through. This film made little sense to me, but as it progressed, I caught on to the humor and began to enjoy the oddness. Michel Galabru, the police inspector, is especially strong in his role. It was a pleasant surprise to see him again, immediately recalling his role as ultra conservative party leader in La Cage aux Folles. I'll give this movie another watch to see if I can connect the dots and follow the plot. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Audience Member I'm a fan of "cinema du look". I like Diva and similar films from this time. Its entertaining, not a film to watch for deep insights. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Wholey-French-retro-Moley… Luc Besson goes underground. What even is this? Is it a romance thriller? I think it's a romance thriller. It is beautiful, with lots of classic Luc Besson composition but in a slightly grittier world. It's set nearly 100% in the underground world of a French Subway station - both the commuter side and the underworld "homeless" side. Our main character might be "Le Roller"… a petty criminal who rollerskates from police capture regularly. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review steve d Not among Besson's best but still entertaining. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Sexy stylish 80s french film making, cracking off beat cult film. Isabelle Adjani in the 1980s was wow. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Um filme com estética punk. Dinâmico e envolvente, mostra cenas da vida diária da Paris que se oculta Aos turistas. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
