Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
What makes the movie special is how it's made. Nolte and Murphy are good, and their dialogue is good, too - quirky and funny.

TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Together Cates and Hammond take a thrill-a-minute trip through the San Francisco underworld and along the way develop one of the 1980s' more interesting cinematic buddy pairings.

Empire - Unnamed
That the fact they come to appreciate one other, the grudging respect of a million clichés, feels so satisfyingly, shows just how successful the film is.

The New York Times - Janet Maslin
Walter Hill, the director of such beautiful but stilted tough guy movies as ''The Warriors'' and ''The Long Riders,'' has attempted something very different in 48 Hours a male-buddy action film that's positively witty and warm-hearted compared with his other work.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Jay Scott
A quick and clever thriller as nasty as a piece of shrapnel snapping the sound barrier, 48 Hrs. is as violent as it is funny. It is very funny. [03 Dec 1982]
