Summary: This is where Eddie Murphy get's on the map
Review: You may not have known much about Eddie Murphy in 1982. He just started Saturday Night Live and hadn't released any comedy videos yet, but this movie launched his stellar career. Nick Nolte who was known but not for leading cop roles plays a tough hard straight detective who meets up with convict Eddie Murphy and his irreverant attitude. Nolte wants to find (Gans) chain gang fugitive, cop killer and seeks help from convict Murphy. Murphy only agrees to help if he can work with Nolte on the outside. They're given 48 hrs. Innovative plot which leads to a bunch of one liners, put downs and funny suprises. The chemistry works well. Walter Hill director (The Warriors) brings in some real good character actors as villans. Violent scenes are realistic and memorable funny moments. The use of everyday by the book cops, hotel clerk bimbos and bar rednecks are great dressing for the humor, gun fights and serious action scenes. If you like mystery thrillers this has all the suspense plus comedy. It's a must see!
