Alfred Hitchcock?s Strangers on a Train - excellent movie! I could leave it that but of course I won?t. I?d had this 2 disk special edition in my DVD collection for a while before I got around to watching it. I really should have watched it as soon as I bought it. Not that I need an excuse to watch it all over again. There is no law that says you have to wait any given period of time before you can watch a film that you enjoyed all over again!
WHAT?S IT ALL ABOUT?

Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, the hilarious duo of White Men Can't Jump, reunite for the buddy-action-comedy Money Train. Unsurprisingly, their obvious on-screen chemistry rouses the biggest laughs here, but Doug Richardson and David Loughrey's badly written script and the uneven pacing of the direction overshadows the picture's funniest moments, making this a rather forgettable affair in a long list of movies of the same genre.
