I found "48 Hours" a lot too predictable.  The main characters, the tough
cop, the slick black thief, and the two ruthless murderers, were all
very stereotypical.  The film does have some suspenseful scenes in
the misty alleys of chinatown, but they are not particularly original
(they reminded me of "Chinatown" and "Taxi Driver").  The humor I
found as as unoriginal and stereotypical as the rest of the film.
The only good thing I can say about the film is that it keeps your
attention.  If you're bored it's probably worth the price of a
matinee.
