Late Fee Files

Metro (1997) and The Negotiator (1998)


Listen Later

This week on Late Fee Files, Brian and Adam dial into two '90s hostage thrillers packed with tension, attitude, and A-list charisma: The Negotiator (1998) and Metro (1997).

They break down Samuel L. Jackson’s masterclass in controlled chaos in The Negotiator, and Eddie Murphy’s underrated turn as a street-smart hostage negotiator in Metro — a rare dramatic outing that still packs laughs and firepower.

From over-the-top negotiation tactics to explosive finales, the guys dive into what made this subgenre peak in the late '90s, why these two films deserve a second look, and how both leads brought their own signature style to the crisis movie formula.

Negotiations are over. Press play.
