Money Train (1995)
3/10
Pointless plot and badly developed characters

Warning: Spoilers
After watching this movie I had one question, what was the point? The plot existed but was so thin that they had top fill it up with boring relationship scenes which served no purpose to the movie and a psycho-pyromaniac who gets his thrills from pushing people in the front of trains and burning women in ticket booths.

The thin plot is that there are two brothers (whose names I can't remember) and there is the running joke that one is white and one is black, but the joke isn't funny. The white one has incurred a huge gambling debt and needs the money. They work as transit police who seem to have nothing better to do than to set up muggers in subway stations. Personally, I find it quite stupid because I don't think any police force has the resources to pretend to be drunks hoping to catch purse snatchers, and even then there is no point because the penalty is not that high.

There is a train which carries all of the revenue from the ticket sales and it is dubbed the money train. This train has priority over all other trains and the controller, Paterson, is quite a mean little rat. The white guy, who owes lots of money, decides that he will steal the money train, and he does so. This is pretty silly because there was only one guard on the train with around three million dollars on it. Honestly, this movie was pretty poor and the struggle of actually building a plot is shown with the existence of a mad man. Personally, don't bother.
