It remains one of the better action-comedy buddy pictures you'll find.

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

...a rather disappointing buddy comedy.
July 06, 2010
One of the first buddy action movies, 48 Hrs. laid the ground work for the sub-genre that was at its best during the 1980's.
August 26, 2014
Violence, profanity, racial epithets in dated '80s movie.
June 06, 2009
Neither jokes nor fast, flashy action can completely distract audiences from the failure to establish an authentic, rather than a purely conventional connection between Nolte and Murphy.
January 26, 2006
A down-the-line thriller, plain, fast and efficient.
April 06, 2011
A genuinely tetchy, risky race comedy
May 07, 2008
Fast-paced, frill-free action entertainment of the first order.

[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.

The perfect buddy-cop movie! Murphy and Nolte are awesome!
October 23, 2004
The movie's story is nothing to write home about. It's pretty routine. What makes the movie special is how it's made. Nolte and Murphy are good, and their dialogue is good, too -- quirky and funny.
