Money Train
Get On...Or Get Out Of The Way
John (Snipes) and Charlie (Harrelson) are partners, best friends and foster brothers. Both are transit cops who work undercover on the New York subway. Both are quick-witted and quick-fisted. And both are in love with the same woman. But their sibling rivalry goes over the top when Charlie decides to rob the "money train"- the heavily guarded revenue train that collects millions of dollars from the subway booths. Now it's up to John to stop his bad-boy brother...or join him for one final, phenomenal trip through the tunnel of fun!

Great Action Flick - newdaysof
Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson have great chemistry in this film and should have made a lot more movies together. Snipes is quite an athlete and fighter and really rocks in this one. Both his and Harrelson's characters are funny and they both have great lines.
Jennifer Lopez also delivers a good performance as the lone female security police officer and the latino love-interest. Robert Blake of Barretta fame plays the neurotic and dictatorial transit manager. The young Chris Cooper plays the really creepy and downright scary maniac who attacks transit agents.
The movie is very fast paced with lots of action, chases and thrills. It has a good plot, interesting characters and hilarious dialogue not to mention the great stunts. This movie is a stunt-lovers dream come true. It really makes you wonder how they did some of the stunts in and around downtown Manhatten streets, buildings and subway system. My only criticism is the amount of swearing is over the top. But other than that, it really holds up as one of the better action flicks of the past couple of decades.Didn't have the same entertainment value as White Men Can't Jump - sinic
I was hoping for the same chemisty between Snipes & Harrelson that they displayed in White Men Can't Jump, but this movie seemed a little flat.
Predictable story and the plot twist was completely expected. Nothing new here at all.
There are a few cool scenes in the movie, but overall the whole thing feels kind of flat.~ GREAT FUN IF NOT EXACTLY TOP NOTCH ~ SOLID 3 3/4 Stars ~ - SqueakyChair
SNAPSHOT: Fun premise. Good action scenes. Solid acting performances by Snipes, Harrelson, and Robert Blake is an excellent obsessed anal-retentive security chief.
MORE THOUGHTS: I don't know why critics gave this move a rating down with the likes of Dumb and Dumber. This is a fun movie with an even adventure pace, and worthy of watching more than just as rainy day fare. It doesn't quite make edge-of-your-seat suspenseful thriller status but it certainly does get and hold your attention well. Harrelson and Snipes have a good chemistry together in both the serious and the fun scenes.
Might i suggest from ZIP.ca
