Violence, profanity, racial epithets in dated '80s movie.

It remains one of the better action-comedy buddy pictures you'll find.

A down-the-line thriller, plain, fast and efficient.

The perfect buddy-cop movie! Murphy and Nolte are awesome!

[It] is more memorable for its characters than for its high style, more a series of energetic scenes than a collection of handsome imagery. It has life, ferocity and humor in place of icy, stylized elegance, and that seems more than a fair trade.

All in all, a superior genre piece, if not the height of Hill's artistry.

...a rather disappointing buddy comedy.

The movie's story is nothing to write home about. It's pretty routine. What makes the movie special is how it's made. Nolte and Murphy are good, and their dialogue is good, too -- quirky and funny.

A genuinely tetchy, risky race comedy
May 07, 2008
Fast-paced, frill-free action entertainment of the first order.
June 06, 2009
Neither jokes nor fast, flashy action can completely distract audiences from the failure to establish an authentic, rather than a purely conventional connection between Nolte and Murphy.

One of the first buddy action movies, 48 Hrs. laid the ground work for the sub-genre that was at its best during the 1980's.
