48 Hrs. [Blu-ray]

Director: Walter Hill

Overview

Hard-boiled, no-nonsense cop Jack Cates is on the trail of two crazed killers, one of whom has escaped from prison. Desperate to find the psycho pair before they kill more cops and innocent bystanders, he decides that the only way to do it is to get high-octane, wiseacre con man Reggie Hammond out of prison. Unfortunately, the courts will only let Cates have Hammond for 48 hours. At first the cop and his unwilling sidekick despise each other, but as they endure a series of misadventures, a tentative bond begins to form. A fast-paced, lively blend of comedy, action and drama, 48 Hours marks the feature-film debut of comedian Eddie Murphy. With high-energy antics and a constant barrage of well-placed barbs, Murphy is the perfect foil for the nail-tough and somewhat laid-back demeanor of Nolte whose performance is as subtle as Murphy's is outrageous.

Editorial Reviews

While this dark, often violent, and hilarious film from director Walter Hill will always be remembered as the one that launched Eddie Murphy's movie career, it may be even more significant as the prototype for visceral, R-rated buddy comedies. After a hair-raising opening shoot-out scene that leaves two cops dead, Hill sets his oddball pairing off and running. In order to track down the shooters, grizzled detective Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) springs their ex-partner from prison on a 48-hour pass. The wisecracking con, Reggie Hammond (Murphy), is less than enthused about the assignment, and Nolte and Murphy's razor-edged verbal (and physical) friction during the investigation quickly becomes the picture's centerpiece. Murphy's angry glower, street-smart swagger, and machine-gun delivery -- witness the now-legendary redneck bar scene -- is undeniably some of his most effective screen work. Still, it is the strategically fleshed-out juxtaposition of Nolte and Murphy’s characters that gives their improbable partnership its explosive comedic punch. Of all the cop-buddy shoot-'em-ups that have followed, such as the various Lethal Weapon and Rush Hour films, none has so effectively bottled the spark that Hill managed to capture between his two leads in this definitive action/comedy.

Presents calculus in an intuitive yet intellectually satisfying way and illustrates its applications in the biological, social, and management sciences. A review chapter covers concepts needed to study calculus. Includes practice problems and worked examples, and exercises with answers. This ninth edition introduces delta notation early, and emphasizes analysis of data. It contains more material on regression, and an appendix on the graphing calculator. Chapter projects, also new to this edition, focus on critical thinking, verbal expression, and integration of mathematical techniques. Goldstein is affiliated with Goldstein Educational Technologies.
