Plot Summary

Two foster brothers, who are also transit police officers in New York City, get involved in a series of increasingly dangerous schemes. One brother, John, is struggling with gambling debts, while Charlie, the other brother, is more cautious. Their actions escalate when they decide to rob the 'money train' – an armored train that transports the previous day's subway fares.

Critical Reception

Money Train received largely negative reviews from critics, who found the plot predictable and the action sequences uninspired. Audiences also showed limited enthusiasm, leading to a modest box office performance. It's often cited as a lesser effort from its lead actors.

What Reviewers Say

  • Despite a promising premise and lead actors, the film devolves into a generic action flick.
  • The plot is convoluted and relies too heavily on improbable scenarios.
  • The chemistry between the leads is present, but not enough to salvage the weak script.

Google audience: Audiences found the movie to be an entertaining, albeit formulaic, action film. Some viewers enjoyed the performances of Snipes and Harrelson, and the train-based action sequences were seen as a highlight by a few. However, many felt the plot was predictable and lacked originality, with some criticizing the character development.

Fun Fact

The film featured an actual deactivated New York City subway train that was repainted and modified for the movie's iconic money train sequences.
