Critic Reviews for Money Talks
All Critics (19) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (16) | DVD (2)
Tucker and his profanely funny verbal bullets ... are about the only reason to put up with this gratuitously violent, race-baiting, jumbled ripoff.
Tucker's manic energy is the only thing keeping the audience from dozing off like the rest of the cast.
Mildly funny prototype for Ratners later Rush Hour franchise
...as does Chris Tucker. Incessantly.
Mainly a showcase for the talented Tucker, and unfortunately doesn't add up to much else.
serves up a crude blend of flip comedy and jarring violence... Tucker squeals loud and long. Here's hoping he gets the Ned Beatty part when 'Deliverance' is finally remade.
Audience Reviews for Money Talks
Fast talking Tucker is the star in this fast paced comedy that despite doing badly upon release and being a rather bog standard action flick, I quite like it. Nothing new in the slightest with more of resemblance to 'Lethal Weapon' and 'Beverly Hills Cop' than anything, but the quips and ramblings of Tucker are amusing and highly energetic which play well against Sheens stuck up richboy. Clearly Ratner likes Tucker as he went on to use him for the 'Rush Hour' trilogy which is pretty much more of the same, this feels like a pilot for those films but is actually probably better, just about. Had it been made back in the 80's I'm sure this would have been looked upon more favourably but with an overloaded genre when it was released it fades into obscurity fast.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Yeah, it's not great, but Chris Tucker delivers some of the funniest lines I've heard. Great movie for a mindless comedy with some decent action scenes.

Good action-comedies is a rare thing to come by these days. But during the 90's they came in the plenty, and this is an excellent example of that. Chris Tucker (being as loud-mouthed as he is) isn't always easy on the ears, but he's still a great and really funny actor, and always brings a lot of energy to the screen. The stuff that goes on story-wise may not be very believable, but it is, undeniably, highly entertaining. A perfect pick when you feel like just kicking back and watching something that doesn't require too much thinking.
