48 Hours (DVD)

...killers to justice. 48 Hours is something that has recently been doing it’s rounds on the Sky Movies channels and I decided to watch it on the recommendation of my Dad after hearing how much he enjoyed it, we tend to have very similar tastes in films so I was expecting to thoroughly enjoy this. Being a big fan of Eddie Murphy is something that made me want to see this even more. Nick Nolte is someone that I’m not too familiar with, I vaguely remember ...
...he looked very different but other than that I haven’t seen him in anything else. After his performance in this film I’m not particularly interested in seeing him anything else again. He plays a very gruff, moody talking cop in this film. Some women seem to like the brooding and moody macho type, I’m not such a fan of it. He simply has no personality in this film at all and is nowhere near as likeable as his co-star. You don’t care about his character ...

Review of 48 Hours (DVD)

Nick Nolte, your typical american cop, (who has a bit of drink problem and has racist tendancies) is forced to team up with the ever slick Eddie Murphy, a wise cracking, down-on-his-luck criminal, in order to solve a murder case. Nolte being the all-american that he is hates this from the off and does everyhting in his power to ensure that Murphy has a rough ride. Eddie Murphy, in a typical wise cracking role, takes it in his stride knowing he holds ...
...is ok, the plot is easy to follow and watching a friendship that would never have been likely, develop can be heartwarming but cheesy at the same time. This is one of the first american cop movies I can remeber and I always think of it when watching Lethal Wepon or the like. Good performances from Nolte and Murphy makes an average film seem quite good. ...
