Money Train has it all
Added 11/19/2008
Money Train is the Perfect Action comedy with stellar performaces by both Harrelson and Snipes back together as transit cops always in trouble with chief of police Patterson (Robert Blake) who despises the two.Lopez doesnt really serve much purpose as both of the unlikely brothers fight for her affection.The plot changes as Charlie (Harrelson) decides to rob Patterson's Money Train.Alot of hilarious moments with the two who work well together and proved that in White Men Cant Jump.Good action scenes and great dialogue.Highly recommended!

Action But No Substance
Added 9/9/2008
This film had one good intention: a decent cast. It lacked direction, however, and seemed to be adrift in a sea of identity confusion. Is it a thriller? Not quite. Is it a "buddy" film. Well, not really. It it a romance? Uh-uh. It is a mish-mash of all of the above. There were some excellent action sequences (many incredibly unbelievable), especially in the last 20 minutes. Some of the comic interplay between Wesley and Woody was amusing, but far from their chemistry in "Jump". J-Lo's character served no purpose except to show a little skin. She slowed the pace down for the first hour of the movie, it seemed like watching it in slow motion. It could have been an excellent action-packed buddy film of the Lethal Weapon genre if only the writers offered us a decent script. Instead, we got disconnected plotting and a whole lot of far-fetched antics. And Robert Blake should have "Virginia Baked" tattooed on his forehead. And what was up with Cooper's character? It seemed like the writers of the script came up with an idea for a serial killer/robber plot, but then couldn't figure out what to do with him and wrote him out of the film halfway through without any resolution for his motive or background. Instead, the writers might have just recently spent an evening watching "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" and switched tracks, so to speak, and said "hey, this might be a good idea for that new Harrelson/J-Lo/Snipes film we have to provide a script for tomorrow." The writing and direction seems to be spontaneous, and NOT in a good way.

No Money In This Train
Added 12/18/2007
Sorry, Harrelson and Snipes have their moments, but Jennifer Lopez is not
believable for a moment. Robert Blake is so over the top that he must have thought it was a serious movie. But above everything else, this film looked and sounded like it was being made up as it went along!

take 2 ugly men and toss in an overhyped horrible singer/actress and youve got another razzie.minus j-lo and this might have been a 2 star movie.

Murder at the White House is not what it appears
Added 10/22/2009
3 of 5 stars for the drama movie Murder at 1600. A solid good movie richly photographed. The story opens with a murder in the White House. When the local police arrive the "coverup" starts. The local police detective is played by one of my favorite actors Wesley Snipes. As the investigation progresses, we start learning of missing information and false leads. On the surface, it looks like an odd murder; deeper we learn that it is a plot to ultimately force the president to resign. So the movie is interesting with several surprises and plot twists. My only complaint is that it is a long movie considering its contents. I could probably cut 30 minutes from it and make it move faster; each scene is about 10 seconds longer than it needs to be. Good direction, weak editing in post-production. OK, so I do like this movie and I do recommend it.

Can you say AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Added 10/17/2009
It's a cop flick with WESLEY SNIPES, can it get any better! *sigh* Seriously though....normally i roll my eyes when I see that my mom got ANOTHER cop flick but when I watched this I realized that it wasn't just another cop flick, it was exciting, thrilling, and definitely #1 on my best cop flick list. I encourage you to if not buy this movie then at least watch it. You won't be disappointed! (WARNING: this is my opinion, this comment doesn't guarantee absolute satisfaction or any other such thing!)
