48 Hours

Finally watched 48 Hours with Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy. Considering this is a classic and the movie that made Edddie Murphy a star, I was very disappointed.  It was a good film, but not great.  It wasn't very funny and the racism hard to swallow and allow.

I think that maybe it has been copied so much that the jokes aren't funny and the story unoriginal. I think at one time it was probably ground breaking and that's how it won its spot

I have gone back and watched other older movies for the first time and they seem to have weathered time a little easier. This movie doesn't really stand up to current movie standards today like other flicks from the early eighties.
