   Only Luc Besson's second feature, Subway starts with the energy of his action films to come, like he's a man trained on Hong Kong cinema, but loses the plot in the middle part and never really makes its various parts come together coherently. It is therefore a movie I want to like more, but can't. Christopher Lambert plays a safe-cracker and would-be blackmailer who runs from his victim's men and the police into the Paris subway system, which is many stories deep and filled with what Shakespearean scholars would call "zanies" and X-Men readers "Morlocks". He somehow starts a band down there (which includes proficient drummer Jean Reno). There's also the matter of Isabelle Adjani as the victim's long-suffering trophy wife who Lambert has fallen for on sight. Lots of quirky elements, from hairstyles to locations, an inept policeman called Batman, a thief on roller skates, an elliptical finish, and the music... A couple songs (including one to die to), some diegetic drumming in the score, and otherwise that mid-80s sax rock that proudly proclaims this as an action movie of its era. So many weird little touches, but the convoluted plot and the slow pace in the second act made my attention wander. But I feel like it's one that might grow on you after a rewatch or two. 2 months ago
