Editor's Note
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.
Plot Summary
John is black, sensible and mature. Charlie is white, carefree and a compulsive gambler. The duo are also (foster) brothers, and NYC transit cops. After losing a poker game, Charlie finds himself owing the mob a lot of dough. This gives him a crazy idea: to hijack and rob the "money train", a subway car that carries the day's transit revenue. Although John is strongly against it, Charlie goes ahead with his plan. Can John stop -- or save -- his trouble-prone sibling?

"...[MONEY TRAIN] turns the dauntingly intricate subway system into a screeching demolition derby..." 12/14/1995 p.92Variety
"...[Lopez] is quite appealing..." 11/20/1995 The New York Times 8 of 10
More viscerally charged than Speed and hipper than Die Hard With A Vengeance, the movie is a careening, screeching joyride that showers sparks like fireworks. Mr. Snipes' impervious cool and Mr. Harrelson's hyperkinetic boyishness mesh perfectly. Once that ride begins, the movie becomes a sustained adrenaline-pumping journey... - Stephen Holden
