This attempt to reunite the stars of White Men Can't Jump will most likely be remembered as the movie that allegedly inspired a number of copycat arsons in the New York subway system. In other ...( read more  read more... )words, the movie itself is too perfunctory to be remembered for any other reason. Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes share their established chemistry as a pair of stepbrothers who work the subway detail as undercover detectives in the NYPD. Woody's a compulsive gambler with a huge debt problem to contend with, and he's also competing with his brother for the attentions of their new and beautiful partner (Jennifer Lopez), who's been assigned to join their investigation of the subway crimes. They're also supposed to guard the daily money train (so named because it contains each day's worth of subway fares), but Woody gets the bright idea that it might be the solution to his money woes. What follows is standard-issue action fare for the mid-1990s--lots of violence, excessive profanity, and attempts at witty banter between the costars to make it all seem more entertaining than it really is. You'd need to be a serious Harrelson, Snipes, or Lopez fan to add this movie to your collection. For anyone else, one viewing ought to be enough. --Jeff Shannon

    An absolute classic....pile of shit!
  • March 19, 2009
    The chemistry between Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes is great, but the movie can't decide what it wants to be. Action flick or romantic comedy? Villains that have nothing to do with the plot - really, there is no plot - kind of just come and go.

    A very good movie, re-watch to understand it more, enjoyable.
  • July 2, 2007
    I watched this when I loved Jennifer Lopez, now I hate her.
  • May 31, 2007
    A reasonably enjoyable action-buddy film as they try to rob the money train!
  • November 16, 2009
    Not the best movie of the year but it has some thriling moments
  • October 6, 2009
    Two subway cops that also happens to be step brothers (Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson) decide to rob a subway train that transports money so they can pay of their debts to a mobster. This is your standard 90's action flick, noting really exciting about it and nothing you will ...( read more)watch over and over again. Jennifer Lopez acting drags down the rating with half a star.

    A fun movie. Good to watch if you want mindless fun.
  • September 8, 2009
