What makes it work are Walter Hill's switchblade-sharp direction, and the inspired teaming of Nolte and Murphy.

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

...A crackling balance of star power....[Volatile chemistry] only adds to the comic tension... -- Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 3.5/5 --
[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.

Product Description:
Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) is a tough, super-jaded cop who springs a hard luck robber, Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy), from jail for two days to help nab his former partners. The two men form a kind of friendship (based on mutual hatred) as they chase a trio of remorseless villains through the streets of San Francisco and Cates finds that Hammond's streetwise method of finding the criminals is possibly even more effective than his own by-the-book police procedures. Rounded characters and crackling comedy balance out this this box-office hit. A sequel, ANOTHER 48 HOURS, was produced in 1990.
