Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Ugesh Prasad this movie is still classic for a reason... Chris tucker dialogues are still catchy and I'm still admiring his scar-faces ... he is the one who takes up the full movie with such a great sense of humor and non stop speaking by him makes even great. just go with it if u need some stress buster right now.. i really enjoyed every bit of the movie.. please don't be concerned about the 100% plot here. it might be commercial at the end but you will love it after watching..you might watch all the comic scenes again n again after watching full movie.. you can even admire minute reactions from tucker :D laughter riot movie for sure ..

The Grand Master Money Talks was a worthwhile action/comedy that was enjoyable. Charlie Sheen and Chris Tucker made a great duo. Money Talks was also notable for being Brett Ratner's directorial debut, who would also go on to direct the Rush Hour trilogy, The Family Man, and Red Dragon.Franklin Hatchett (Chris Tucker) is a small time hustler who is exposed by reporter James Russell (Charlie Sheen) on camera and arrested by police. While Franklin is transported to jail on a prison bus, the bus is intercepted by mercenaries and Franklin is dragged onto a helicopter while handcuffed to another prisoner. When Franklin hears a plot to locate a cache of stolen diamonds, he manages to jump out of the helicopter when the mercenaries also plan to murder him. Franklin must also evade the police following his escape from custody as well as being framed for the murder of several police officers. Franklin enlists the help of James Russell, the reporter who initially put him in prison, for protection and to clear his name.Chris Tucker was a standout for this comedy. He was hilarious! Chris Tucker would also reunite with Brett Ratner for the Rush Hour trilogy. Charlie Sheen was also good to see as reporter James Russell.Also starring Heather Locklear, Paul Sorvino, David Warner, and Paul Gleason, Money Talks was an enjoyable comedy from start to finish. It was good to see Brett Ratner go on to build a career as a popular director.7/10.

jessegehrig Twenty five million dollars was spent on this movie, those are earth dollars mind you not lunar cash or martian money, a fortune amassed to make an action-comedy. A dull humorless wretched affair entirely populated by unlikable fake characters. Do you know how much money twenty five million dollars is? Imagine it as yours for a moment, you have twenty five million dollars, think of all you can do with that much filthy loot, now do you want to invest all of that money in a Charlie Sheen/ Chris Tucker movie? Have you seen Money Talks? Well that's the script, would that script read to you like a twenty five million dollar idea? Oh my God! What I would do with twenty five million dollars if I was going to make a movie! No matter how insane or ridiculous the movie more than likely would be Lord Lord it would be better than Money Talks. Money Talks is the bottom of the barrel folks, if you cant do better than this movie you need to get out of the movie biz.

elshikh4 (Joel Cohen) and (Alec Sokolow) wrote a mild script. However there was potential that I waited from the scriptwriters of (Toy Story – 1995) and (Goodbye Lover – 1998) to use, while they didn't. There are situations where the comedy could have been produced better (the party), or produced (the arm dealer's lair), but the action was the main point I guess, so it sure lost more chances for laughs.The buddy formula couldn't be felt. I mean (Charlie Sheen) wasn't given much of a character. All the lights are spotted on (Chris Tucker). Over and above, (Sheen) didn't do anything more than his usual Siberian performance and combing his hair well. They could have easily replaced him with a cardboard cutout !Although he's not that charismatic, and too annoying in many places, (Tucker) proved that he can be a star in a movie. I just hated his method that whenever the camera is rolling; "I must not stop talking and talking and talking" to an extent where they should have renamed the movie (Chris Tucker Talks)!.. It's not funny at all. Anyway, he sure looked better, and talked less in director (Brett Ratner)'s next movies (Rush Hour). But maybe it gives you a hint about the reason why (Tucker) doesn't work much out of that franchise. The start is really good and inspiring. And there is fair action, especially at the third act. However the second act went astray a bit. Some violence bothered me as well, but not like the very last scene, where the 2 leads accept a portion of stolen diamonds for themselves, even the clean-cut reporter. It's a matter that will inflame more loud objections 2 years later in another action comedy; (Money Train).In 1997, the buddy formula was sizzling. I believe it's the (Lethal Weapon)'s effect. Many buddy comedies were released : (Out to Sea), (Fathers' Day), (Gone Fishin'), (Good Burger), (Mousehunt), (Nothing to Lose), and (Trial and Error). Many buddy action too : (Men in Black), (Double Team), and (The Edge). I think (Money Talks) is a reasonable action, somehow far from being a comedy, and originally not a complete "buddy" movie, being so close to one man show. Not bad man, and not excellent show either. Well, averagely entertaining is the word then.Seriously there was nothing super but that chain of explosions at the end, which if there was more like it; it could have fit as better buddy for (Tucker) !
