The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This movie just fits the same outline as a bunch of other comedies. It is basically another rush hour except without the good fight scenes. The action sequences are alright but it still is nothing special and almost like all other action comedies that were made at the time.

(Joel Cohen) and (Alec Sokolow) wrote a mild script. However there was potential that I waited from the scriptwriters of (Toy Story – 1995) and (Goodbye Lover – 1998) to use, while they didn't. There are situations where the comedy could have been produced better (the party), or produced (the arm dealer's lair), but the action was the main point I guess, so it sure lost more chances for laughs.The buddy formula couldn't be felt. I mean (Charlie Sheen) wasn't given much of a character. All the lights are spotted on (Chris Tucker). Over and above, (Sheen) didn't do anything more than his usual Siberian performance and combing his hair well. They could have easily replaced him with a cardboard cutout !Although he's not that charismatic, and too annoying in many places, (Tucker) proved that he can be a star in a movie. I just hated his method that whenever the camera is rolling; "I must not stop talking and talking and talking" to an extent where they should have renamed the movie (Chris Tucker Talks)!.. It's not funny at all. Anyway, he sure looked better, and talked less in director (Brett Ratner)'s next movies (Rush Hour). But maybe it gives you a hint about the reason why (Tucker) doesn't work much out of that franchise. The start is really good and inspiring. And there is fair action, especially at the third act. However the second act went astray a bit. Some violence bothered me as well, but not like the very last scene, where the 2 leads accept a portion of stolen diamonds for themselves, even the clean-cut reporter. It's a matter that will inflame more loud objections 2 years later in another action comedy; (Money Train).In 1997, the buddy formula was sizzling. I believe it's the (Lethal Weapon)'s effect. Many buddy comedies were released : (Out to Sea), (Fathers' Day), (Gone Fishin'), (Good Burger), (Mousehunt), (Nothing to Lose), and (Trial and Error). Many buddy action too : (Men in Black), (Double Team), and (The Edge). I think (Money Talks) is a reasonable action, somehow far from being a comedy, and originally not a complete "buddy" movie, being so close to one man show. Not bad man, and not excellent show either. Well, averagely entertaining is the word then.Seriously there was nothing super but that chain of explosions at the end, which if there was more like it; it could have fit as better buddy for (Tucker) !

A Classic Action Comedy. This in my opinion is Chris Tucker at his best. From the opening scene to the end, Chris Tucker is hilarious. From the funny looking hair cut to the cussing and singing, he reminds you of Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop. Charlie Sheen also does an impressive job. The action scenes are not spectacular, but it does a good job.Money talks is a good blend of Guns/Explosions and laughter. If your a fan of 48 Hours, Nothing To Lose or any other Action Comedy, Money talks is a must see. 7.4/10

MONEY TALKS is a good showcase for Chris Tucker, who utterly saves the project from being a disappointment. Here, he plays a street hustler who is wrongly accused of murder. Charlie Sheen is the reporter who risks his engagement to his fiancee (Heather Locklear) to help Tucker out. While the action isn't all that good, Sheen and Tucker's chemistry makes up for it in this above-average comedy.3 out of 5
