Brief synopsis of Money Train

A pair of New York City transit cops (Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes), who also happen to be constantly bickering foster brothers, try to thwart the theft of the subway system's "money train," while dreaming of someday robbing it themselves. This explosive action flick drew the ire of government officials when a similar robbery attempt occurred after the film's release.

Rating of 2 stars out of 5 Radio Times

Die Hard meets Speed, but with the brakes on, as transport cop Wesley Snipes tries to stop his flaky foster brother Woody Harrelson robbing the New York subway transit system. But lightning doesn't strike twice for the White Men Can't Jump dynamic duo, and director Joseph Ruben's recycling of exhausted gags coupled with long-drawn out arguments is lacklustre in the extreme. The last third of the film, set on an out-of-control express train, is packed with eye-popping crashes and sterling stunt work, but it all comes far too late to save a vehicle that is so reliant on Harrelson and Snipes's good-natured double act. On the plus side, Jennifer Lopez is dynamite as a Hispanic rookie cop.

Rolling Stone

"...[MONEY TRAIN] turns the dauntingly intricate subway system into a screeching demolition derby..."

Halliwell's Film Guide

A tired action movie, loud and unsubtle with performances to match.

This is one of those films that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The acting is good and the last scenes regarding the actual money train is electrifying.
