“Marking an auspicious feature film debut for Eddie Murphy, 48 Hrs. is a briskly paced action comedy that succeeds largely due to the outstanding chemistry between its two leads.”

Totally kinetic and visual, "48 HRS." is a constant excitement.

Has the look of a movie that was thrown together in a couple of days and its only claim to attention is the contribution of a refugee from "Saturday Night Live."

A quick and clever thriller as nasty as a piece of shrapnel snapping the sound barrier.

[Walter] Hill injects larger-than-life personalities into the characters, a rollicking sense of humor to the situation and a gritty edge to the action.
