Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
SnoopyStyle John (Wesley Snipes) and Charlie (Woody Harrelson) are a couple of transit cops and foster brothers. The money train transports the money collected from the system. Chief Donald Patterson (Robert Blake) runs the transit system and he doesn't let anything interferes with the money train. Charlie is a gambler and John has had it with him. Grace Santiago (Jennifer Lopez) is new to their team. Torch (Chris Cooper) is an arsonist. After a fight with other transit cops on the money train, there is $25k missing and Patterson suspects Charlie. The guys are tired of Patterson and Charlie starts a plan to rob the train but John won't have it. John gives Charlie $15k to pay off his debt but an old lady pickpocket steals it. Meanwhile, John and Grace has become a new couple. Grace works undercover and Torch tries to attack her. A wild chase ensues and a drunken Charlie is fired by Patterson. The bad guys still want their money from Charlie and he decides to rob the train.The chemistry for the Snipes Harrelson duo is off. The old chemistry is still there sometimes. However their characters don't even like each other half the time. Granted, the other half of the time they love each other like brothers. Everybody is a little bit annoying and a little bit frustrating. Charlie is especially frustrating. Then Robert Blake has to push so hard over the top douche. When the caper happens, the action goes insane and all reason goes out the window. It turns from a slightly frustrating watch to a loud mess.
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..
brandon_lee420 The film starts out like all those other clichéd movies and then twenty minutes later it gets worse. The script is poorly written, the music is tedious (this whole film is), and Joseph Ruben is a sh*tty director. The only good film he made is The Forgotten and all those others are good movies to make you sleep if you are insomniac. To waste ten bucks on this film at the cinemas is like insulting your mother then taking it back and slapping yourself for being stupid. And who can forget the horrible acting from nearly everyone, including Woody Harrelson, Wesley Snipes, Jennifer Lopez, Robert Blake, and they suck because it seemed like they were auditioning rather than giving a good performance. This film should definitely not be on your list because I can guarantee you that it's a waste of time and money. Jennifer Lopez is the baddest actor to have ever been born because she acts like a rookie who is acting in her first movie and her gross laugh in one of the scenes embarrassed me. The story is weak and clichéd, no thanks to you Doug Richardson, but most of all it's predictable and you know what the outcome is going to be. I lost respect for Woody Harrelson, who was perfect in Natural Born Killers, because he acts Cr@p and why did he sign up for this movie in the first place? Guess, he must have been poor or something? Robert Blake overreacts lots of times and that is a downside to his acting career. If you have nothing better to do and are counting on watching Money Train then build a sandcastle instead.Two foster brothers, one white and one black, work as transit cops at a local subway station. One has a good life, but the other one has to owe money to some loan shark. He has to pay fifteen grand or his brother is going to die. He has to hijack a money train in order to get the money and secure his brothers life. Working with a hot woman cop, his brother, he has to succeed and nor get caught by a subway owner, Donald Patterson.The action is not all bad but does get boring after a while. To stop yourself from switching off the TV make sure you have some popcorn and friends to share this boring experience with them. I strongly agree with anyone that's is against this film. The film is short, thank God for that, but it seems like it is longer than a millennium. I can go on forever about how bad this film is but I like short and interesting reviews, so I hope this review is both of those. 5/10 - Yuck!
