48 Hrs. (1982)

 Genre: Action
Directed by: Walter Hill
Cast: Nick Nolte, Eddie Murphy 
Running Time: 96 minutes

 


Desperate to catch two cop killers, Inspector Jack Gates enlists the help of a former partner of theirs, Reggie Hammond, who has six months left to serve on a three year prison term for armed robbery.

After a slow start, the action picks up and 48 Hrs. becomes a very efficient buddy cop film. This was Eddie Murphy’s first movie role, and he was very good. His on-screen chemistry with Nick Nolte really helped carry this film to another level. Be warned that some of the language here age this film quite a bit. If you are easily offended, you might want to steer clear.
