Before the action-oriented "buddy movie" formula settled into place in the 1980s and 1990s with the Lethal Weapon films, Walter Hill's 48 HRS. presented a much more irreverent and politically incorrect version of the genre. Eddie Murphy made an auspicious film debut alongside veteran Nick Nolte's consummate performance as a worn cop. Murphy plays a convict on a two-day furlough from prison to help capture his former partner (James Remar). The intense animosity between his character and Nolte's impatient detective is rude and violent--albeit in a comic way--and the film's racist and sexist banter is so ubiquitous that some viewers might be turned off. (This early, raw Murphy is not the Murphy of The Nutty Professor.) Then again, sometimes deliberate overkill is funny in itself, which is certainly closer to Hill's intention. There are a couple of scenes for the ages in this film, especially Murphy's single-handed shutdown of the action in a redneck bar. --Tom Keogh

Funny movie.......2007-05-07

if you want to laugh.. this is the movie, not for young children

Heres your G***amn dinner.......2007-03-13

I loved this movie. It was very funny. It was the best when Eddie Murphy went into the redneck bar :-)

Great Movie!.......2007-02-18

Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy play off each other really well in this movie - Nolte with his loud, gritty voice and Murphy with his suave demeanor. This movie and Another 48 Hours are both worth watching more than once. I definitely recommend this movie as worth owning.

Eddie Murphy's film debut.......2006-12-04

Eddie Murphy's popularity on NBC's Saturday Night Live led to a film career. The same applied to his predecessors such as Dan Aykroyd,the late John Belushi,the late Gilda Radner,Chevy Chase and Bill Murray. Here is Murphy's starring film debut overall,opposite Nick Nolte about a cop and his apprentice about to apprehend wanted criminals. Plain clothes cop Jack Cates(Nolte) and his apprentice Reggie Hammond(Murphy) are just the right pair for the job. There was a catch:they had only 48 HRS. to do the job. Also Jack has been having disputes with his girlfriend Patti(Annette O'Toole). However,the police job landed Reggie in jail since he was a criminal himself and an escaped convict. Great support from the late Brion James who was Jack's co-worker Sgt. Ben Kehoe. This popular film inspired the 1990 sequel ANOTHER 48 HRS. In between the two films,Murphy starred in other popular favorites such as TRADING PLACES with Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis,BEST DEFENSE with the late Dudley Moore,BEVERLY HILLS COP,THE GOLDEN CHILD,BEVERLY HILLS COP 2,COMING TO AMERICA and HARLEM NIGHTS with the late Richard Pryor. Also in between,Murphy became a recording artist and released an album in 1985 spawning the Top 20 hit PARTY ALL THE TIME. This film and the sequel were directed by Walter Hill and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

An Expensive Suit + A Porsche Does Not =Class!.......2006-10-27

This is a very tedious and tiresome "buddy movie" which were in fashion in the early 1980's. There is a stupid plot about money hidden away and Nick Nolte makes the very astute observation that Eddie's Murphy's character is still a "lowlife" no matter how he dresses or what car he drives. This movie was also made at the time when men stopped shaking hands and started hugging each other. Perhaps Hollywood was trying to send a "Subliminal Message" ?I give this movie 5 stars because Eddie is on the hunt for "trim" ( as he so delicately suggests to a woman)which is what any normal released con would do and that is about the only believable thing in this trash.

Moral Relativism For Social Conservatives.......2005-12-09

It's always a little troubling when a movie reminds the viewer a little too much of series TV. Worse, when the film suffers by comparison. ONE GOOD COP came out two years before the debut of NYPD BLUE, so although it reminded me uncannily of that show (with its mix of gritty police procedural and sentimental family drama), you can't really call it a rip-off of that seminal TV series.

Or maybe that series was not so seminal. It was certainly maximally gluteus, but were the bare bums the sole innovation? I don't recall it well enough to say for sure. In many ways it seemed to be an 90s extension of and elaboration on the equally gritty HILL ST. BLUES (although with an actually recognizable geographic locale and earthier, less glamorous character).

Why go on and on about the TV series that cover the same terrain at ONE GOOD COP? Well, it's interesting to me that such dramas made for better than average TV fare, while this particular film seems to be average at best. The two above cited series and any number of other shows (especially Stephen Bochco's) occasionally tackled the question of good cops occasionally doing bad (or at least, morally ambiguous) things for a good cause. And quite often, they kind of got away with it.

In the last analysis, these inherently conservative dramas have at least toyed with the notion that it's OK for cops to do corrupt things for a good end. They suggest that the world is indeed morally grey--at least on occasion. And that's an argument that can be made (that it appeals oftentimes to the kind of social conservative who is also likely to speak in grandiose terms about "moral absolutes" in dealing with matters such as abortion and gay marriage is another issue). But that argument can indeed be made and framed in human terms, ONCE YOU GET TO KNOW THE CHARACTERS.

And here's where series television actually has an advantage of movies. These characters are coming into home every week (every NIGHT in reruns). Because loyal viewers get to know these characters fairly well they can forgive them more readily their human flaws, just as they can forgive the series creators their dramatic flaws.

But even though the police drama and the family one are dramatically linked in ONE GOOD COP, there really isn't enough time in the space of two hours to develop either satisfactorily. Other reviews on this site and elsewhere give a fairly comprehensive summary, so let me dispense with that and get right to some core questions.

Movies and TV shamelessly attempt to manipulate their viewers, and that's nothing new. Would we feel a little less manipulated, say, if the events in this thriller-cum-family drama had been spread out over the course an entire TV season say. I think so, actually. We might have gotten to know Anthony LaPaglia's character instead of seeing him get offed within the first twenty minutes of screentime. The buddy-buddy relationship between the two partners would have been established and not just suggested. (And the then up and coming LaPaglia would have gotten that much more screentime and promotion--not a bad thing for someone so talented).

And wouldn't Rene Russo's fervor to become a mother and her eagerness to adopt the children of her husband's murdered partner become something a little more emotionally resonant--and less of a transparent plot device--in a more leisurely paced dramatic format such as a series? Viewers are asked to take too much on faith in this movie. Since it can't decide which it wants to be, the film never becomes much of a thriller or of a drama.

It does have a very good cast, however, including the children. Ever notice how much better child actors have become in recent decades. No Buffy and Jody awkwardness these days. Of course, the fact that the kids are all so preposterously adorable doesn't hurt. (Would Michael and Rene have been as eager to adopt Anthony's kids if they hadn't come directly from central casting?)

Many reviewers have called this movie to task for being a little on the preposterous side. And when you list them out, it does start to become obvious how the filmmakers are trying to manipulate us here. Some obvious questions are: how is it that Keaton's widowed partner could afford to raise three kids in the city, and Keaton and Russo (who is also gainfully employed) cannot?; in other movies where the "thin blue line" closes ranks, it is more often a done in silence, with tacit understanding that all lips are sealed, but does it make real sense that Keaton's colleagues cheerfully take up a collection for him; and lastly (and this is not an original point with me), hasn't anyone in this movie heard of Internal Affairs. A high profile crime involving a deadly shoot out could never just be handily hushed up, could it?

The questions only begin there. Dramatic license only goes so far. One may to stretch out those limits is to have the audience really get to know your characters. That proves almost impossible in this film and part of the reason is the time constraints of your typical cinematic release. ONE GOOD COP just does not work. But it might have made a pretty good TV show.

THEY ARE NOT DOING FILMS LIKE THIS ANYMORE.......2005-10-07

This kind of a movie is a rare guest on screens nowdays. Police movies are not very popular now and that's a pity. "One Good Cop" has a solid plot with all the genre's attributes. Besides it's a touching and kind-hearted story about a cop who has to raise the three daughters of his partner who's been killed doing his job.
Michael Keaton's work is just something special here. He's always good but in this film I guess he demonstrated all his abilities. I can note practically everyone who's been involved in this movie - Rene Russo, Anthony LaPaglia, Rachel Ticotin, Tony Plana (brilliant as a villain) and young Benjamin Bratt who is very interesting to look at here.
"One Good Cop" is not just an action movie, it's an insight into human relationship, into relationship between friends, husband and wife, grown ups and kids.
Great film that can be recommended to anyone who just loves good quality cinema. You won't be disappointed. Everytime I watch it I get a little nostalgic because this movie is of an extincting kind.

Chance, circumstance, compassion, loss - a journey........2004-03-06

This is an interesting psychological journey of One Good Cop (Michael Keaton) who makes a decision to do something wrong. One thought stands out in the movie, and will probably stay with me for a long time: People make millions in drug money while law abiding, honest people can barely afford to keep a roof over their heads. That truth is relevant.

Keaton was excellent in showing the honesty of a cop who loses his partner of eight years. It is easy to see how deep the bond of friendship is between shield carrying brothers or sisters. They can't really share their day at home with family and loved ones because it would drag their family through the underworld garbage as well. That barrier, however, is hard on a marriage, but remains in place because cops do want to protect the good guys.

Keaton is given the guardianship of his partner's children. Rene Russo is beautiful in her role as Keaton's wife; always wanting children, but unable to bear them. Suddenly life gives her a family -- and these children need two loving guardians to have a healthy survival of the loss of both of their parents. They do not need to be separated into three foster homes or adopted by different families.

However, there is simply not enough money to take care of them. Neither Keaton nor Russo want to lose these three little girls who brought a new kind of love and laughter into their tiny home. And tiny it is -- one bedroom, where the girls now sleep together, a living room, kitchen, and bathroom. The significance of the lodgings is the impetus for the crime.

The question arises: is stealing from criminals, in order to take care of the children they turned into orphans, sactioned?

Benjamin Bratt is filled with his usual bravado, and he is also a good cop. In fact, the entire supporting cast is well chosen. Even Bratt agrees with the police captain's decision when ultimately the crime is exposed.

This is good drama, a strong story, and the psychological journey is worth the trip. I give is four stars.

Victoria Tarrani

one good movie.......2003-11-10

Michael Keaton has been in some good movies and this is one of them. One Good Cop is more of an action drama than a "shoot em/kill em" type movie. It has a good story and you care about what happens to the characters. If you are a Michael Keaton fan or just like entertaining cop stories then this movie is one to see.

A sentimental action drama... go figure.......2001-03-21

Widowed cop Stevie Diroma (Anthony LaPaglia) dies on the job. His partner Artie Lewis (Michael Keaton) decides to take care of his three daughters for a while. Artie's infertile wife (Rene Russo) would like to adopt them, but given his salary they live in a small apartment, so the kids will end up in adopting agency. Therefore Artie decides to stick up the drug dealer responsible for Diroma's death and use the money to buy a big house where he can live with the children.

Is he supposed to be a 'good' cop? A bad cop isn't necessarily Harvey Keitel in Ferrara's 'Bad Lieutenant'. Innocent people get killed due to his smart idea but he gets away with it because his colleagues cover some things up. In a world where the Internal Affairs DO exist this movie makes no sense.

Amazon.com

In this comic twist on the cop buddy genre, suburban Philadelphia policeman Alex Kearney (Anthony Edwards) is unfairly reassigned to a dangerous, rundown inner-city precinct after busting a wealthy, well-connected businessman for speeding. Soon after, his partner is killed when he attempts to bust a drug transaction in the area, and Kearney seeks the aid of Dennis Curren (Forest Whitaker), a loner cop in the downtown precinct who's resistant to working with the naive suburban transfer. Despite their differences--notably Kearney's by-the-book approach and Curren's toss-the-book attitude to law enforcement--the duo begin investigating what at first seems to be an ordinary drug operation, but soon expands into something larger. The antagonistic chemistry between Whitaker and Edwards works to the film's advantage and lends itself to some poignant moments as the guarded Curren slowly opens up to his new, gung ho partner. Despite an unnecessarily Hollywoodish ending, Downtown is a charming buddy pic. --Bryan Reesman

Customer Reviews:

This is NOT a great film, but a good one.......2007-06-02

Anthony Edwards is banished to downtown Philly from the wealthyburbs on the word of a disgruntled wealthyburbite. He's as white as they come; the denizens of downtown are, uh, not.

Forest Whitaker is his unwilling/unwitting partner with passion but no tolerance. Beach Boys? NO!

It's a predictable but enjoyable romp, and Art Evans plays a streetwise police Lt with a penchant for using a 4-letter copulatory verb. Yeah, that's the one.

It's not vaguely believeable, but Edwards is so fresh and pre-ER-ish, it's a lot of fun. Plus, Whitaker brings a level of intensity not really suited to the movie, but characteristic of all his roles. Doesn't hurt he went on to anchor an ER story arc.

For the price, you can't beat it. Pop some corn and curl up for a while.

Downtown.......2007-01-10

I had taped this movie from TV years ago and just wanted to have it for my own. I always liked Anthony Edwards from ER and think Forest Whitaker is a great actor. This was just an all around great movie.

damm good movie.......2005-10-28

this is a very good movie i think its good for a white cop to hang down in the hood anthony edwards has guts the funny part was watching him eat chittlings and getting sick and the best part they became friends we need more movies like this made in todays society.

LAUGHS, ACTION, and BEACH BOYS MUSIC, it's all here!!!.......2005-02-07

This is a fish out of water story (a reversed, Beverly Hills Cop, if you would) where a white cop from a shiny, modernized, police station, is transferred to a gritty, dilapidated, and crime ridded, gettoeque, police station, in one of the best 80's styled buddy films ever made.

There's plenty of laughs, action, and Beach Boys music, for everyone to enjoy.

Anthony Edwards (when he had hair) as the shiny new, eager to right the worlds wrongs cop, from the right side of the tracks, who plays, ever so gratingly, against Forest Whitaker, as the put upon, chip on his shoulder cop, from the wrong side of the tracks.

The fun in the movie is watching the bond between the two cops, grow, as each learns to appreciate the other, and become friends.

This movie is a classic, and WELL worth the price of admission.

It's Hella Funny!.......1999-04-07

Don't believe Maltin. This is a cool film. It shows a white cop with no experience of the inner city going to school Downtown. He learns the hard way on a lot of the idiosyncrasies of "da hood". What Maltin also missed was the angry commanding officer of the Diamond Street District. Watching him go off is funny as hell. Don't miss this movie. You'll learn a few come backs for your boss one day from this guy.

Fady Ghaly's reviews.......2001-11-14

My remarks toward this picture
Coming-of-age sagas are frequently burdened with threat, especially because the genre has been so overworked and even pulverized into cliché. Yet young filmmaker, John Fawcett, pulls off a coup with this hip and arresting drama that's full of spit and attitude, and is relentlessly in your face, whether you like it or not. The Genie-nominated, first-time Toronto director, working from Genie-nominated writer, Peter Wellington's edgy, intellectual script, re-invigorates the genre with panache.

He does so by balancing climactic suspenseful elements with authentic human insights. He does it with a first-rate cast, led by Chris Penn as a psychotic cop killer badly affected by a grim childhood who, when he had reached his breaking point, I guess you could say in a sense, had me on the edge of my seat till I was fully assured that he was conquered-such riveting performance was that compelling. A performance so compelling, it earned him a nomination as Best Actor at the 1996 Genie Awards. Here, Penn really delivers his finest since co-starring in Abel Ferrara's elegiac gangster film, The Funeral. (Even the title itself screams of great mourning for that which is irrecoverably past.)

The three youths played by our rising young stars are at loose ends during a teachers' strike that has closed down their small Ontario town's high school. The three friends, who dispute because their social and intellectual instincts tug in three dramatically different directions, find themselves in a quandary one afternoon as they head toward their secluded shack deep into the wilderness where the pressures of growing up do not have to be faced; however, that severely wounded and yet armed stranger in whom they discover hiding out inside may just be their ticket to real adventure. Overriding common sense, they decide to help the stranger, who we find out is named Luke, rather than report the incident to the police.

"If you want something, you just take it, and then it's yours," Luke says, and they do, and they love it. They get themselves into trouble and the thought of getting themselves in insubordinate acts excites them. (spoiler) What is so clever with regards to this piece is that, even when, through the audiences' eyes, we want to wail out the words: Wake up, stupid! when one of our teen heroes is about to make a mistake in judgment, the Fawcett-Wellington team make those mistakes understandable. We sympathize. We comprehend. We're involved.

The ambivalence and complexity of the struggle are why The Boys Club has accurately been called a cross between Stand By Me and River's Edge, two landmark films that explored teen anguish with a piercing intelligence, never pandering to the youths or condescending them.

Fawcett walks the same wobbly tightrope, even if The Boys Club remains as a modest film, at least, in scale, that will not gain the notoriety of either Stand By Me or River's Edge.

On the other hand, Penn is a towering force, a raging bull-of-a-catalyst in our teen protagonists' lives. Dominic Zomprogna-being the one to play the part of Kyle-perfectly essays the confused youth torn between intellect and impulse; Stuart Stone, who plays the part of Brad, is a terrific counterbalance as the practical one, while the charismatic Devon Sawa-a dead ringer for Leonardo DiCaprio-is pure feral instinct. (According to Sawa, his character in the film, whose name is Eric, is so unlike himself that it really puts his acting skills to the test. The Boys Club has generally been his most challenging film yet, and yet he passes with flying colors.) Nicholas Campbell provides a compellingly sad-sophisticated portrayal of Kyle's father.

Their personalities mix, the deeming of both their feud and friendship bond and the palpable danger of the narrative ups the emotional stakes. (spoiler)
The Boys Club is not at all just kids' play. It is an inexorable and deeply powerful film that tests friendships and human insight, and yet it doesn't ever overdraw upon a single factor that would diminish it from being the masterpiece that is, because that's precisely what it is despite of the fact that it was shot as a Canadian film on a skin-and-bones budget, will not be released in most countries-which is a shame-and was shown at only a few theaters in Canada. (Mind you, it, however, is available on VHS and DVD in, aside from Canada, Australia and the U.S. as well.)

The Boys Club, although the affect it has upon me isn't quite as great as it once was-for I have now watched it so many times, that it has reached an extent where the amount can no longer be counted anymore-it, nonetheless, is a film that will forever be special to me. Not only because the tension that was generated by these kids in danger influenced me to become a writer, an interest that has drastically altered me as a person, for I now I'm capable of expressing my feelings in a way I never thought possible; but, in addition, because, after having stepped inside a video store one glorious day, it instantaneously drew me to purchase a copy of it on DVD despite of the fact that I merely had a VCR-a machine that was left setting alone no longer, for I the following day ended up purchasing the player itself, a highly sophisticated machine in technology that has forever altered both my experience and outlook upon movie-viewing.

A great thriller, a hot guy, what more could you ask for?.......2001-08-02

This movie was excellent and skillfully done. I don't only love it because one of the main stars, Dominic Zamprogna, is SOO hot, but just because it's a great movie. It is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that you will have to watch from beginning to end.

Because the only reason I watched this movie was to see Devon show that beautiful smile that takes my breath away. I would love to get him in an abandoned shack for a few days. The actors did do a great job, but Devon was the only body...err person that caught and kept my eye :)

An Ideal Character for Suzanne Pleshette.......2001-01-20

I thought Suzanne Pleshette was just wonderful in this movie. She is a Police Captain and she is assigned to clean up a station with a lot of corrupt cops. She is tough, but fair. Suzanne Pleshette is so pretty and classy, I really enjoyed it. This role just fits her so well. Even though she had to be hard as nails at times, she still had a sense of humor and she really became emotional at times due to the sadness of so much corruption. It is an excellent movie, the only thing I would have liked to have seen more of is her husband. I wish they would have spent a little more time on her relationship with him, but other than that it was great. If you are a fan of Suzanne Pleshette's this is a must have.

I generally don't enjoy cop-type movies, but my boyfriend rented this one, and I found myself really into it. It has humor, a bit of romance, and lots of action. It didn't strike me as a big budget Hollywood blockbuster, but it was well done, and very funny...showing a side of Lamas I didn't really know existed.

get the ocean shores version.......2006-09-10

The ocean shores version is widescreened and is about 93 minutes long. Not very much nudity and not a ton of violence, but I guess it earns it's CAT III rating because of the ending. If you are an old school kung fu fan you have definitely heard of Ocean Shores. Don't worry though, that infamous logo only shows up for a second or two, literally.

Rongguang Yu plays the leader of the Red Scarf Gang. Because they are so extremely cold blooded, the hong kong and mainland chinese cops are trying to work together to capture them. I really liked how the movie was called rock and roll cop and while there was a rock and roll cop, he was equal to the other lead cop and the lead villian. This will detract some viewers but it is really interesting when you don't have a 'main' character becasue there is so much else going on.

While it all comes together at the end, I didn't like the ending. The shootouts I thought were only average, and when the Iron Monkey is in a movie, I expect a better fight than what was in this.

Edited release and bad framing sinks this cool movie........2005-07-03

Rock n' Roll Cop was one of the few movies in which Anthony Wong Chau Sang doesn't play a weird, psycho or a slimeball. The super hot Carrie Ng co-stars as a gun moll and Yu Rong Guang co-stars as well playing the evil mainland Chinese criminal who's on the run looking for Carrie. Kirk Che Wong shot this movie with several brutal scenes which earned it a Cat. III rating. But the DVD release is edited and full screen. When will they re-release this action packed gem?

Recommended for Anthony Wong fans.

Great movie - dubious DVD.......2001-09-09

From director Kirk Wong, who also gave us Jackie Chan's most serious film "Crime Story", comes this gritty, fast paced, gun-totting CAT III classic!

Begining with estentially a mis-matched cop premise, in pre-1997 Hong Kong and China, this takes a straight laced Mainland cop and teams him up with the reckless goateed Rock N' Roll cop of the title.

If this was a Hollywood picture you would know every move from then on, but as this a not your typical fare, the action is orignal, energetic and sometimes breathtaking. Great action sequences in shopping malls (very different to Chan's classic Police Story, mind you), sliding down sides of buildings shoot-outs in domino halls and bustling street market sting operations.

The film has some very touching sequences - but be warned, it's pretty violent in places.

The downside is the disc. With no extras, and no chapter selection (oh dear) it's worth it's current price only if you can do without all the fancy stuff. Estentially it's more like a VCD copy with a very good image than a proper DVD - but, still, the movie is well worth seeing and compares well to the best of Woo (John Woo, that is).
