Quartile rating: 6/10 · 1 rating
Sought by police and criminals, a small-time huckster makes a deal with a TV newsman for protection.
Money Talks is a fairly formulaic buddy comedy/action film that follows well-worn genre conventions. Chris Tucker's energetic, motormouth performance elevates the material above its script, while Charlie Sheen provides a competent straight-man foil. The cinematography is functional but unremarkable for late-90s action comedies. The plot recycles familiar elements of the mismatched duo on the run, and the ending resolves predictably. Tucker's charisma is the film's primary asset, keeping it watchable despite its derivative construction.
