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...

Liam D Luc Besson's (Chaos and Desire, Lover and Other Disasters) second film is a fun mix of Thriller, Romance and Character Drama with stand out performances from Christopher Lambert (Sobibor, Resurrection) and Jean Reno (Ca$h, Hotel Rwanda) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/15/22 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
