Jack Cates is a cop who doesn't exactly play by the rules and is not a team player. He works alone. When he runs into two cops who are going to arrest someone for a misdemeanor, he joins them. When they knock on the door, they're shot at. Eventually Jack comes face to face with them and when one of them has his gun trained on the other cop, the other guy tells Jack to give up his gun which he does. He then shoots the cop and tries to shoot Jack but misses. Later part of the department thinks Jack was a coward for giving up his gun and the others think that Jack's wild ways got the cops who was with him killed. Jack learns that the guy who told him to give up his gun is an escaped convict and the other guy was the one who busted him out. Jack also learns he's been killing his former associates. Jack learns that another associate, Reggie Hammond is in prison. Jack goes to see Hammond; initially Hammond doesn't want to help until he learns of the man's escape but insists that Jack has to get him out to help with him. Jack does and Hammond takes Jack all over town hoping to find the guy but Jack suspects Hammond is holding back.
Convicted robber Albert Ganz escapes from a road gang with the help of his partner Billy Bear, and they immediately kill their partner Henry Wong, then they check into the Walden Hotel in San Francisco under false names. Alcoholic San Francisco cop Jack Cates and two of his fellow cops VanZant and Algren go to the Walden Hotel to check on a guy named G. P. Polson, who turns out to be Ganz. Ganz and Billy kill Algren and VanZant, then leave. Jack wants revenge, so he convinces his boss, Haden, to let him work alone on this case. Jack goes to a prison and visits Ganz and Billy's former partner Reggie Hammond, and Jack decides to spring Reggie for 48 hours so Reggie can help him find Ganz and Billy, but it's not going to be easy, especially since Jack and Reggie are not getting along with each other. The tension between them gets so high that they end up beating each other up in a garbage filled alley on their first night together, then it turns out that Reggie has $500,000 stashed away in the trunk of his car, and his car has been in a parking garage ever since he was convicted. Ganz and Billy are after the money, so they have kidnapped Rosalie, the girlfriend of their former partner Luther, in order to force Luther to get the car with the money in it. With this in mind, Jack and Reggie try to find Ganz and Billy before Jack has to return Reggie to the prison.
This movie is really very simple. It's about a hard-nosed go by the book cop named Jack Cates who teams up with a sarcastic and slick convict named Reggie Hammond. The formula is basically your typical buddy cop film, but what makes this movie so great is the chemistry between Nolte and Murphy. Both provide us with tons of laughs as they race to catch a vicious killer. This movie also has some great action sequences, and even a little bit of drama. And of-course one cannot forget the classic scene where Murphy takes over the Redneck bar posing as a cop. I don't think anyone has ever had such a successful debut on the big screen as Eddie Murphy did in 48 HRS. Anyway, I recommend this to anyone who's a fan of the Eddie Murphy from the 1980's. You know, the one who did movies such as 48 HRS., Beverly Hills Cop, and Coming to America instead of garbage like Daddy Day Care and Dr. Dolittle?
Walter Hill's '48 Hrs' is undoubtedly, one of the most entertaining films from the year 1982. Sharply Written, Supremely Acted & Nicely Directed, this action comedy, is worth your time!
'48 Hrs' tells the story of a cop and a convict, who, team up to catch a cop-killer. The title refers to the amount of time they have to solve the crime.
This 'Buddy-Buddy' flick is full of entertaining moments, as the writing is spot-on. In a running time of 96 minutes, this flick manages to hold your attention. Walter Hill has directed the film nicely. Cinematography & Editing are perfect. Music by James Horner, is good.
Performance-Wise: Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy are lovable in their respective parts. Murphy gets his timing right, while Nolte not only suits the part to the fullest, but also comes out highly energetic. Their Chemistry is something to watch!
On the whole, A Simply Superb Film! Check it out.
Together Cates and Hammond take a thrill-a-minute trip through the San Francisco underworld and along the way develop one of the 1980s' more interesting cinematic buddy pairings.
No he is not. The character from this movie has the same name, and both characters are played by David Patrick Kelly, but he is not the character from "The Warriors". a5c7b9f00b
