Argent comptant

This is a movie that makes people feel entertained. Back when this movie was made, it was when Chris Tucker was at his absolute best, before he became the serious artist he's tried to become today. This I want to be taken seriously disease seems to plague lots of comedians when they start to achieve some sort of box office success. Eddie Murphy. Is one that immediately comes to mind. So sit back and enjoy the days when a comedian at his prime does what he does best; entertain you and make you laugh.

Money Talks (1997) is a movie I recently rewatched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows a struggling reporter who runs into the wrong scam artist. The scam artist gets blamed for a crime that the reporter doesn't believe there is any chance he did. When the reporter runs into the scam artist who is somehow out of jail he offers to protect him in hopes of breaking a huge nation wide story and jump start his career. The reporter doesn't know that inviting the scam artist into his world may be more than he can handle.

This movie is directed by Brett Ratner (Rush Hour) and stars Charlie Sheen (Major League), Chris Tucker (Fifth Element), Heather Locklear (The Return of Swamp Thing), Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas), Elise Neal (Hustle & Flow) and David Warner (Titanic).

The storyline for this is all over the place and crazy, as you would expect for this genre. Christ Tucker is over the top and absolutely awesome. His voices, slang and body language is fantastic. Sheen was also a perfect costar due to his very different body language and demeanor. The soundtrack in this was outstanding. The jail scene, sequence at the in-laws house and the "snap and pop" line is legendary.

Overall this is an underrated comedic gem. I would score this a 7.5-8/10 and strongly recommend it.

A Classic Action Comedy. This in my opinion is Chris Tucker at his best. From the opening scene to the end, Chris Tucker is hilarious. From the funny looking hair cut to the cussing and singing, he reminds you of Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop. Charlie Sheen also does an impressive job. The action scenes are not spectacular, but it does a good job.

Money talks is a good blend of Guns/Explosions and laughter. If your a fan of 48 Hours, Nothing To Lose or any other Action Comedy, Money talks is a must see.

7.4/10

Chris Tucker and Charlie Sheen are excellent and hilarious in this great movie. Almost all of the jokes that Chris Tucker made I laughed at. He proved once again, after Friday fame, that he is a great comic. Charlie sheen does really good in this one, too.

Overall the whole movie is a great comedic flick and I definitely, definitely recommend this to the average person. Rating 10 out of 10.

Ever since I saw Chris Tucker on Def Comedy Jam in the early 90's I was committed to see him in whatever he appeared in. "Money Talks" was his first significant role in which he wasn't a heavy drug user. From what I remember, that's the reason he chose this role and turned down the role for "Next Friday;" he didn't want to be type-cast. True to form, he was hilarious in "Money Talks" just as I expected.
