Tanu Tuva This is the kind of movie that makes you regret watching it, but holds on to you with the false promise that something worthwhile is going to happen eventually.It was advertised as a heist movie. The heist takes place in the last 30 minutes. Prior to that, there is less than 5 minutes of discussion about the heist, and a lot of nothing about no less than four yawn-inducing subplots. The girl, the bad boss, the mob that wants to collect a debt, and the mugger they chase, and chase. With all the time wasted on those tangents there is very nearly nothing in the way of story development for what is supposed to be the main plot.Granted the main characters need a motive and the mob provides it, but it shouldn't take literally two-thirds of the movie to establish a motive.The insidious thing about it is that, when you have to wait so long for the plot to start, you have an incentive to sit through the long prelude only to be disappointed by the most ridiculous, and simply lame, heist in memory.Skip this garbage. It's the product of some Hollywood hacks with no brains at all who don't have the sense to know when to send a script back for a re-write.
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!
bluefox270 I don't know what's the film critics' problem with that movie. It is cool job. Film stars Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson which also starred in 1993 hit film "White Men Can't Jump", but that one is not just comedy. It is an action/comedy film which also stars Jennifer Lopez. It is true that plot is non-linear and film have not a point but it's cool Christmas movie. Wesley Snipes has some well done fight scenes, Woody Harrelson is the main reason of the film's humor. I guess one critic said right about that movie, it has everything we asked from an action movie, not a great plot or great dialogs but it has some great action/martial arts scenes and some hilarious moment, it's not kind of a Jackie Chan movie but it's still good. If we return to Jennifer Lopez, her acting was awful but she was just hot and let us forget her awful acting job in a scene where Wesley Snipes banged her, but the boxing scene between them was also good. I loved their chemistry.So, watch these movie! It is a typical action film with some funny moments, great actors (Wesley and Woody), cool action scenes and hot Jennifer Lopez but don't wait any point or even a plot.
