WALTER HILL

Plot

Murphy is the foul-mouthed, wise-cracking convict, released for 48 hours to help cop Nick Nolte track down a killer and retrieve his own secretly stashed loot. A sharply-scripted buddy-buddy comedy thriller, marking Murphy's first film role and one he hasn't bettered since. Great entertainment.
