My Review-

This is when Eddie Murphy was funny, back in his 80s movies and this one that he was known for a long with a few others. I have not seen many of his movies from when he was at the top of his game, but this is the second one of those films to be featured on my list. Also I have not seen many Nick Nolte movies like I should so this is sort of killing two birds with one stone time thing, and for the buddy cop movies I really liked this one. Murphy and Nolte's chemistry having to be partners made the movie funny and serious at the same time, well because one is a convict and the other is a cop, some of which wont work to well these days. Even though Eddie Murphy does not show up until almost half an hour into the movie, the movie gets started right away in the first 5 mins you cannot wait to see how the chemistry between Nolte and Murphy will work, and just one of Remar's first films he works well as the movies main antagonist, one of the most memorable roles for me with Remar was the Warriors, where he was sort of the villain but not quite. Although there is a sequel to this movie I do not think I would like to watch seeing is how it did poorly with both the critics and the audience on rotten tomatoes. To me this is one of the those types of movies that do not need a sequel to go along with it, and should have been left alone as just one movie. There were also some really funny scenes in the movie where you had to ask yourself did he really just say that or did that just happen? For being one of the first buddy cops movies, it actually be the best buddy cop movie ever made.
