"Jack Cates (Nick Nolte, Hotel Rwanda, Cape Fear) and Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy, Shrek, Dr. Dolittle) would never be friends...but they're about to be partners. Cates is a hard-nosed cop out to avenge the deaths of two fellow officers. Hammond is a smart-aleck felon, out to retrieve the stash of cash still hidden from his last job. In order to bring the killers to justice, Cates has to find their ex-partner - Reggie. The catch? Reggie is in the slammer. Now, Cates must use his pull to get Reggie a 48-hour parole...and make him his temporary partner. Director Walter Hill sends Nolte and Murphy on a wild ride, setting the standard for the ultimate buddy-cop thriller. As the boys race the clock, they discover they have only one thing in common: they'd both kill to find the bad guys... f they don't kill each other first!"--Container.
