The_Film_Cricket I have seen every element of this movie so many times, I could follow it in my sleep. I'm not talking about this particular movie but the 3 dozen or so other action movies that follow its formula to the teeth. 'Money Train' is a gruesome exercise in the worn-out cop buddy movie franchise offering nothing new except the cast which adhere to the formula as if changing them would be a sacrilege.The movie stars Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, paired up after their success in the delightful 'White Men Can't Jump' as stepbrothers who are paired as buddies on the NYPD. The movie begins with a chase through the subway tunnel just to reassure impatient action fans that they will get their fill of gunplay and blow'd ups. The crook they are chasing is killed by cops guarding the money train that collects the day's fares from the various stations.A movie like this has to have it's token characters and believe me their all here. There is the sexy female played by Jennifer Lopez (Rosey Perez was the lifeblood of WMCJ but was either unavailable or just wise enough to stay away). There is the chief played by Robert Blake who, if you were to remove all his four letter words, would have reduced him to merely playing an extra. There has to be the usual group of impatient debt collectors and in this case hang Harrelson out a window unless he plays what he owes from gambling.Then somewhere in this story figures a psychotic (Chris Cooper) who provides the movie with unusually gruesome scenes in which he pours gasoline into subway ticket booths and sets the ticket taker on fire. I really did not need that, nor did the movie But my biggest problem with 'Money Train' is the relentless shouting matches between Snipes and Harrelson, they go off on each other about a half a dozen times in this movie and you wonder if they ever have a moment when they are just talking. I get a lot of time to wonder about things during a movie like 'Money Train' because there isn't anything else to do beside count down to the next cliché.

DiamondGirl427 While this film is several years old now, it is still not too bad to watch when it shows up on network TV. At the time it came out, both Woody Harrison and Wesly Snipes were HUGE box office draws..so they put them both together in a film..expecting magic to happen. It wasn't a amazing memorable film though. Fun..yes...parts were kind of laughable. The idea of them being "brothers" of sorts was cool too. They aren't perfect people with perfect lives..the flaws were quite clear..but we like them anyway. Adding Robert Blake was great as well. His tightly wound character looked like he could explode at any moment. It makes us wonder about how warped other parts of his life might be. I did think having Jennifer Lopez on board as a female cop/love interest was a little too much. She was just coming onto the scene as a performer..and it shows here...although not much has improved about her acting skills over the years...she needs to stick with music in my opinion.Did we need to be reminded she was a woman AND of ethnic decent too? The part could have been played by anyone...or simply not been added at all. I guess she was more or less eye candy here. I think my favorite part was the ending...when they had rolled the train..and were confronted by Robert Blakes extremely enraged character in the subway. After all they had been through...they still could stay cool enough to handle in with one swift and direct punch...which he dearly deserved. They end up getting away with the crime..which was wrong..yet..right too. Did they deserve all the money? Maybe. The fact they screwed the system and got away with it? Awesome.

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!
