Oddball cop and tough guy, Jack Cates is the only survivor of a cop shooting and in hunting down the murderer collects Reggie Hammond from jail for 48 hours. Hammond is oddly motivated to help. The killer is searching for his stash of cash. Cates and Hammond who have the Black-white, cop-crook thing to work out make surprisingly good partners as they navigate through the city looking for their suspect.

  • Craig BurtonApril 26, 2025
    Love this movie. One of my go to 80s action movies. Nick and Eddie have a great chalk and cheese chemistry in this movie. There’s very little love lost between the two of them. And remember, if you’re watching this movie for the first time. No judging it by modern standards. Just enjoy it
