Típico filme dos anos 90, com aquelas duplas conhecidas (além de outras caras que já eram ou que ficariam com o tempo), com bastante humor e ação, mas sem ter exatamente um roteiro muito elaborado. A dupla Snipes/Harrelson se contrapõe em boa parte e isso equilibra a trama, sem contar Jennifer Lopez, escolhida como o rostinho bonito da vez (outra características desse gênero naquela época e praticamente até hoje, e provavelmente por todo o sempre). Apesar de não ser exatamente uma obra de arte, entretêm numa medida aceitável e se forçar um pouco, é possível até transparecer alguns conflitos éticos. Joseph Ruben não esteve a frente de muita coisa conhecida (aliás, esse é o primeiro dele que assisto, apesar de ter me interessado por alguns outros). Recomendo caso queira revisitar os anos 90 e não tiver nada melhor disponível.

A disgrace. Cops becoming robbers is an insult and the acting adds more insult to an already bad movie.

This movie is a classic, absolutely love to watch this movie for nostalgia. Wesley snipes was a star around this era and woody. Jennifer Lopez looking 👌. The movie is great and a must see imo. Classic

It's a complete mess but fun at and brainless at times also. The end train chase is cool and fun to watch but its farfetched and over the top. The editing is terrible. This is so unfocused, meandering, and its tone is all over the place. I can't tell you if this is a buddy cop movie, a heist thriller, or a comedy and I don't think this knows either. It just jumps around constantly between the romance, the train heist, being cops and stopping crime, the gambling subplot, it never makes sense. The acting isn't good either. Robert Blake is so over the top and evil as the Train Manager hes almost like a cartoon villian mixed with a 007 villian that its ridiculous for no reason whatsoever. Jennifer Lopez's character feels pointless and so does the romance. Woody & Wes are idiots and their motivations make no sense ahlf the time. How the heck did they become cops is beyond me. The comedy is so unneeded and goes on way too long in so many scenes. This leads to terrible pacing and subpar cinematography as this is filled with pointless and fafetched scenes nonstop. It's just dumb nonsense that is occasionally fun if you don't think about it particulary the ending. I can't really recommend this to anyone even die hard fans of any actors in this because of how ridiculous it is.

FUN FUN action flick with J LO at smoking hot best

Not a bad action flick

Despite the bland story and bad acting (mostly by J-Lo), Snipes and Harrelson save this train wreck with their great chemistry and timing.

John Powell (Wesley Snipes) and Charlie Kaylor (Woody Harrelson) work as transit cops patrolling the New York City subway. When a mugging occurs, John and Charlie chase the mugger into a subway tunnel, and all trains traveling in their direction are halted. But their harsh transit captain Donald Patterson (Robert Blake), allows the money train to continue. John and Charlie avoid getting hit by the train; however, when transit police at the next station witness the mugger running toward the money train, they shoot him dead. The mugger is revealed to be a young teenage boy, which triggers a brawl between John, Charlie, and the other transit officers. Patterson blames the two for causing his money train to arrive late. Charlie asks John to borrow $300 to buy a Christmas present, but Charlie instead uses the money to pay off some of his gambling debts to the sleazy night club owner Mr. Brown. Brown intends to have Charlie killed by throwing him off a building, but John bursts in and interrupts, telling Brown that he has the money Charlie owes him. Brown reveals to John that Charlie is $15,000 in debt, so John offers to have the money delivered in a few days. Brown accepts and lets Charlie live. During their night shift, John and Charlie are introduced to Grace Santiago (Jennifer Lopez), a decoy transit officer newly assigned to their unit. Both brothers immediately take a liking to her. During their patrol, a serial killer known as the Torch (Chris Cooper) robs a token booth and sets it on fire. John and Charlie rescue the booth worker and put out the fire, but the Torch manages to escape. At a local bar, Charlie reveals a plan to rob the money train in order to pay off their debts, but John, judging the caper impossible, rejects the idea. Later that night, the two brothers and Grace are assigned to patrol the money train. As Charlie discovers a grate in the floor and a ladder leading to Central Park, a brawl breaks out between John and another officer, quickly involving the entire squad. Patterson again blames the two for the incident and also accuses them of taking some train money, but even after it is found that a collection agent miscounted, Patterson continues to insult them. At the bar, Charlie tells John that the best time to rob the money train would be on New Year's Eve because of looser subway security and because the subway makes the most money on that date: up to $500,000. The plan involves entering the train through the metal grate when the train has stopped, driving it to the maintenance ladder, and escaping into Central Park. John remains reluctant to attempt the theft. Will John be able to stop Charlie´s plans of robbing the money train...? Brian Lowry of Variety wrote that it "bounces along with a lame script and inconsistent pace". Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote, "More viscerally charged than Speed and hipper than Die Hard With a Vengeance, the movie is a careening, screeching joyride that showers sparks like fireworks." Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Examiner called it "a cut above the usual" buddy cop film due to the stars' chemistry and its well-crafted action scenes. Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times described it as "a by-the-numbers action-buddy picture" that is "an acceptable if undemanding venture". Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly rated it D+ and called it "a big, noisy headache of a movie." Hal Hinson of The Washington Post called it a feeble and clichéd buddy film. In addition to its poor reviews, the film was vilified for its portrayal of a man robbing a ticket booth by running a rubber tube around the bulletproof partition and dousing the attendant with an unknown flammable liquid, then threatening to set them on fire. Two days after the film opened, two men poured petrol over a ticket booth on the Brooklyn subway and set it alight in an incident similar to the one depicted in the film. The booth attendant was burned and later died of his injuries. Consequently New York subway workers called for a boycott of the film and the removal of all the posters from every station. Republican senator Bob Dole quickly came out in support of them. Columbia Pictures refused to bow to their demands. By putting together Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson yet again after their success with "White Men Can't Jump" (1992) I reckon Columbia Pictures thought they would easily have a hit on their hands since there is some sort of chemistry between the two. However, "Money Train" is a pretty standard and average buddy buddy cop film with a quite silly main plot, but with a bit more interesting side plots like the hunt for The Torch played by Chris Cooper. The problem is as well that there´s so many bits and pieces that just makes no sense or are actually believeable and the pacing leaves a lot to wish for. The action formula has its moments, but it´s tiring as well at times. Lopez is just a love interest that causes issues between John and Charlie and the whole setup feels so forced and ridiculous. She hasn´t much to work with. While Robert Blake is as sociopathic as ever in his role. This can stay in the 1 dollar bin.

Didn't know what to expect....but what I'm watching isn't it. Not keeping my interest at all..

The movie is fun. The brotherhood is fun. The action is thrilling. Jennifer Lopez is looking good. The love triangle is bad. The subway system is not accurate at all compared to real life. The ending however is very satisfying.

The duo from White Men Can't Jump returned for a silly formulatic action movie, with a dumb script. The magic was not there as it was during their first collaboration and I think that took a lot away and fans were expecting more.

Ok film sort of lost's it's way and the ending was quite good but apart from that it was very entertaining action movie.

There were more than a few holes in this plot.

Un duo Snipes/Harrelson sympa mais nos deux flics ne sont pas tres futes. Ce film d'action manque d'action clairement, tout ca est bien trop mou. Pas le meilleur de Snipes, loin de la.

Another Woody & Wesley classic... & Jennifer Lopez was the perfect compliment to the both of them.

All the goodwill Wesley and Woody built up in "White Men Can't Jump" is pissed away in this terrible action/comedy. There not even a real story arch. It's as if they took parts of three different scripts and pieced them together. You know you're in trouble when Jennifer Lopez is the best thing in the movie.

Good movie. It kept my attention.

Nothing consistence script nor anything !

Money Train is average genre fare, with some pretty neat sequences of trains flipping. Other than that, it never strives for anything better.

Just come across this film and gotta say this is a very underrated film. In the 90's when it came out it didnt get the greatest reception and has gradually got worse since then however in the 80s it would have been hailed as a classic. Snipes and Harrelson are foster brothers who are also transit cops who lose their jobs and try to rob the train. Its funny and action packed...just plainly entertaining which makes me wish we had films like this now with a great regularity
