Money Talks
1997
A story-hungry investigative reporter and a frenetic, garrulous small-time con trip down the well-worn path of comically mismatched, interracial buddies on the lam. Smelling a scoop, the reporter sets his pal up for a fall that lands him in jail--and downwind of a jailhouse plot to steal a stash of diamonds. Soon the innocent .. Read more

This mediocre action comedy sees complete opposites Chris Tucker and Charlie Sheen forced to rely on each other when the former, a small-time crook, crosses a gang of jewel thieves. Sheen is a TV reporter who sees the unfolding story as a way to save his ailing career. Endless explosions, tedious car chases and brainless shoot-outs punctuate a drearily crass plot whose appeal wholly depends on one's reaction to helium-voiced comedian Tucker. If you like him, you'll like this. If you don't — well, there's always Heather Locklear, playing Sheen's wife-to-be.

Off-The-Cuff Humour
You get two of the best actors in the world and put them in two totally oposite rolls, Charlie Sheen as a news reporter living the high life, he is constantly showed up by comedy genious Chris Tucker who is a car wash attendant who deals stolen goods out the back.
This is one film not to miss -

hilarious
this is chris tucker doing what he does best, no nonesense comedy that at times brings tears to your eyes. this film is so raw but thats what makes it so good. actually been waiting to see this for quite some time and suffice to say i wasnt disappointed. thought charlie sheen was also excellent throughout. so dry as always but thats what makes his charactes so likeable. loved every minute of this, didnt take itself too seriously and thought that worked very well.

BRILLIANT AND FUNNY
I think this film is a classic, it is hilarious and probably Chris Tucker's best comedic performance. I can't tell you how many times i've watched this film but it never gets boring. Charlie Sheen and Chris Tucker just bounce off each other and i'd love to see them work together again.

But it don't sing and dance
There is nothing new in this rather sad offering. There are many other, much more preferable and cinematic performances in the buddy movie genre and, unless you really want your frontal cortex to try and escape through your eyeballs, give this rather lame and tired effort a miss.

Indifferent thriller that seems a pale imitation of the Eddie MurphyÐNick Nolte pairing in 48 Hrs.
