Critics Sentiment
Grace disguised as token booth attendant in trap for Torch
Charlie owes Mr. Brown fifteen thousand dollars in gambling debts
The film jumps from its lowest point during Patterson's antagonistic introduction to much higher scores during the Torch thriller sequences.
Money Train struggles with pacing and identity issues, taking too long to establish its heist premise while juggling multiple underdeveloped subplots. The film peaks during its thriller elements with Chris Cooper's Torch villain, but reviewers consistently note the implausible plotting and Harrelson's increasingly annoying character. Despite some chemistry between the leads and decent action sequences, the film never quite coheres into a satisfying whole.
