Quartile rating: 6/10 · 1 rating
When a vengeful New York transit cop decides to steal a trainload of subway fares, his foster brother—a fellow cop—tries to protect him.
Money Train is a middling buddy-cop action comedy that coasts on the chemistry of Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson fresh off White Men Can't Jump. The plot is formulaic and predictable—a heist gone wrong with personal stakes—offering little surprise. The acting is serviceable thanks to the two leads' genuine rapport, but the material doesn't challenge them. The New York subway setting has visual potential but the cinematography doesn't exploit it meaningfully. The film brings little that's distinctive or fresh to the genre, recycling buddy-cop and heist tropes without reinvention. The ending resolves predictably and without particular punch, leaving little impression.
