Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Tweekums John and Charlie Robinson are step brothers who work on the New York subway as transit cops. For the most part their job seems to consist of one of them acting like a drunk and waiting for low-lives to attempt to rob them then the team arresting them. During one such operation a petty thief flees through the tunnel to the nest station where the 'money train' is stopped while its crew collect the day's revenue… they shoot and kill the thief. John and Charlie are disgusted by their over-reaction but their boss, Donald Patterson, is unconcerned; he regards the money train as his and thinks any potential threat to it must be eliminated.Charlie, who has money problems, jokes that one day they should rob the train but John is unimpressed. As well as dealing with petty thieves they are also looking for a character known as 'The Torch' who has been attempting to set fire to ticket offices and the female employees inside them. The brothers' lives seem to be going in different directions; both fancy new team member Grace Santiago but she is keener on John and Charlie is heavily indebted to some shady characters; John gives him the needed money but he is robbed before he can return it. With nowhere else to find the money Charlie's thoughts turn to the money train.This isn't a great film but I rather enjoyed it. Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson have a decent chemistry as the two very different foster brothers and Jennifer Lopez is good as love interest Grace. Robert Blake is suitably unpleasant as Patterson; he makes it easy to root for the brothers when they finally decide to rob his train. The story itself of solid enough although anybody expecting lots of time to be spent on the planning and execution of the robbery will be somewhat disappointed… if the title hadn't been 'Money Train' one would think the film would be about the hunt for the Torch at least until that plot line is wrapped up after about an hour. Inevitable one needs to suspend ones disbelief quite a bit… most notably when the robbery finally takes place and all the guards leave the train, and the money that was already collected, when they collect money from a station. This doesn't matter too much as it was never meant to be particularly realistic; just fun. Overall I'd say that despite its flaws the film is fun; there are some decent laughs and some exciting moments.

Aki Savolainen Money Train is nothing spectacular, but it definitely is worth every minute it takes to watch it. The direction does what it is asked to do, and it enables the very capable cast to take the action-comedy just where it wants to go. The film does not reach any higher it has chances to go to, so it ends up nailing all it's set targets.The plot is simple enough to follow without activating too many brain cells, yet it is engaging enough to create much enjoyable tension that leads to the eventual conclusion of the film. And here we have the pleasure of Harrelson and Snipes working the chemistry they already showed in White Men Can't Jump.To be honest, I can not say this film is a gem. There is nothing extremely spectacular or exciting or touching. But like I wrote earlier, it's not trying, either, but what it tries to accomplish, it manages to. And with such good workers involved in this film, the result can only be enjoyable.Much over-shadowed by another action comedy from the same year, Bad Boys, for me Money Train is one of those films that define what this type of films should always set out to do. Nowadays action-comedies either push too much on the action, and the comedy drowns in all the bruises and splatter, or the attempt to squeeze as many laughs as possible leaves out the excitement of action and thus the films fall flat without a good drive.Money Train also benefits from being very much a product of the nineties. It's not campy, takes itself seriously enough, and thus has aged well so far, and I see no reason why it shouldn't stay a solid 110 minutes of entertainment whenever it gets screened.

M MALIK woody harrelson character was so stupid in this movie he was a white brother of a black guy played by Wesley snipes.all he ever did was wasting life living on brothers money & creates trouble for himself & others.the time Jennifer Lopez made and entrance in the film i was relaxed because the stupid comedy of snipes & woody was pissing me off.the money train is about 2 cops friends/bros they work on a N.Y subway station.Charlie plans to rob the money train which collects millions of revenue from the station.despite the action scenes in train & stunts the film fails to deliver .but this film is a timpass movie & will rob you of your money & times if you by it on DVD.that just happened to me.ill avoid Wesley snipes movie from now on the guy has lost itmy rating is 3/10.worth looking for J.LO

kb2894 This movie is mediocre at best.. My biggest point here is that it seems like they were trying to "cash in" on the Lethal Weapon format, buddy cop, white guy / black guy, straight shooter, crazy guy.. Plot is paper thin and seems like a total rip off of the success of this format that worked almost 10 years prior. Just a thought.. They also seem to have tried to opt for the same soundtrack feel. It actually took me a minute to realize that it really is Jennifer Lopez in the movie. I recognized her voice immediately but she looks so much different than she does now or in movies that followed this one. AMC has it as part of "the new classics" but I have to disagree. Think there are plenty of other films that would be much better suited for this category. Overall its not unwatchable but, not really sold on watching it again..
