Eh, it was ok. Certainly not as funny as other Eddie Murphy 80's hits "Trading Places" or "Beverly Hills Cop", but it certainly has a few laughs. The story is pretty weak and is really what holds this one back a lot.

No one in "48 Hrs." seems to have a brain or any common sense whatsoever, and the movie has no respect for women and is tastelessly sexist. It's just dumb, clichéd, genre fare that's somewhat entertaining.

I don't particularly like Eddie Murphy, just not my type of humor, but this is a fun time.

Back to the old school. Love this movie. This is when cop movies started to have some comedy in it.
