Summary: Two New York Transport cops dream of robbing a nightly train that collects millions of dollars from the city's subway stations. Their boss is proud that the system has never been robbed... but tonight is New Year's Eve and plans are already in motion...

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.

This attempt to reunite the stars of White Men Can't Jumpwill most likely be remembered as the movie that allegedly inspired a number of copycat arsons in the New York subway system. In other 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 co-stars 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
