Reviews
Sergei Kudryavtsev in the book "3500 film reviews" writes about the film:
“ One of the most successful films in the comedy genre about the battle between police and criminals. The combination of the energetic development of the action with comic situations, tricks and gags led to the creation of an unusual genre, which can be called a comic action movie. The bright talent of then only 21-year-old black actor Eddie Murphy, who came to the cinema, like most American comedians, from shows and comedy television shows, appeared in his debut film, perhaps with the greatest brilliance. In the story of the San Francisco policeman Jack Cates, who should only find the bandit who escaped from prison with the help of freed-up rascist Reggie Hammond in 48 hours, undoubtedly solves Murphy in the role of this “freedman” - as if this is his personal benefit, although in the credits the newcomer to the movie is naturally indicated as the second in a row "...
