Is there really a money train? Is it really shiny silver? If the money train is real, why haven't I ever heard of it before? When did Woody Harrelson shave his head for good?
Money Train doesn't answer any of these questions, but it's still a lot of fun. I mean, just look at this shot of Woody jumping on Wesley Snipes' bed! Does it get much more fun than that??
Apparently critics of its time didn't really like this movie; they thought it was too action-y without having any real content. Usually, I'd agree with them—I'm not really one for endless vehicle chases and whatever else is in action movies. BUT, this was different! I actually really did enjoy it. After all, the main vehicle in question was a train (undeniably the best vehicle), and a shiny silver one at that!

Furthermore, even though this movie is about cops (another category of which I am not typically a fan), it does make a point of saying police brutality is bad (an extremely high standard to set, obviously). On top of that, there's one scene where all the police officers wear turtlenecks!!

And yes, my judgement of this movie may be a little clouded by Woody's presence in it, but I've disliked plenty of the movies I've watched on my journey so far, so I think maybe the critics are just wrong about this one! That, or M*rvel movies and those like them have so increased the amount of pointless action and dumb "comedy" we're expected to deal with in an action movie that one from twenty-five years ago seems like good old-fashioned easy going fun in comparison.
Also, I can't let the end of this review pass without mentioning that Woody wears four hats in it. Four! That's a record, so far.
