Memorable, crazy movie

Great Film overall

The acting in this movie is really good.

The only law I know is "Jack Murphy's law." It's very simple. Don't *fuck* with Jack Murphy. You remember that.Now that is a great dialog mouthed by Bronson's hard drinking disillusioned cop. But some of the abuses that comes out of Kathaleen Wilhoite's mouth made me wonder whether Gail Morgan Hickman, the film's writer was drunk when he (or is it a she?) wrote this film.Murphy's Law is a pretty simple film. A disillusioned cop has to team up with a foul mouthed female thief, when he is falsely accused of murdering his nude dancer wife and her pimp.It makes no pretensions of being high art. It is a sleazy 80s action thriller. It never rises above a certain level. But films like this were the mainstream in the 80s. Before the superheroes and special effects took over.I wont really recommend it. But it is not a bad film. It sucks but also has a few amusing bits. I don't think I would watch it ever again.

I really like Bronson's movies,the Stone face is great in action and is very bad with the crooks,now includes a new kind... women...which was framed by one them,funny too when he notice that the partners cop who didn't like him looks like gays...today probably such things should be politically incorrect,but in 1986 was cool...the chemistry between Bronson and Wilhoite works a lot...anyway the movie is plenty watchable the trio Bronson/Thompson/Golan Globus was in great shape!!! Resume: First watch: 1988 / How many: 3 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7

while he was still making movies for cannon films which is no longer in existence, bronson took the lead in this cop thriller from the early eighties. he stars as jack murphy a worn and beaten down cop who has been framed for the murder of his wife who left him to become a stripper in a sleazy bar. while on the run from the mob as well, and trying to clear his name, he is handcuffed to a mouthy petty thief named arabella mcgee. considering it is kathleen whilhoite's first starring role in a feature (she plays arabella) she turned in a great and funny performance. she has a mouth like a trucker but has some very creative and imaginative ways of telling people off who displease her ie. snot-licking donkey fart among other things. while she is more than half of bronson's age the writers were trying to build some kind of weird sexual tension between the two and it clearly wasn't working. it came off more creepy and awkward than anything else. while bronson's later movies won't win any awards it will keep you entertained.

Charles Bronson was a rare actor who's very name promised excitement. The son of a Pennsylvania coal miner he rose to prominence playing rough tough characters. This excellent film is a case in point. The movie is called " Murphy's Law " and is from first to last, a superior role for him. Bronson plays Jack Murphy a tougher than nails police detective who's life is on the skids. His wife has divorced him, he's become an alcoholic, insulted the Mafia and now someone has set in motion enough crimes to framed him for several murders and a dozen major felonies. The result will send him away to prison for life. No sooner than he gets arrested, he meets up with foul mouth car thief Arabella McGee (Kathleen Wilhoite) who is literally chained to him as they try to stay out of jail long enough to find out who is behind all the killings. Carrie Snodgress, Robert F. Lyons and Richard Romanus add to a fine cast. Together they create enough rapid fire, fast paced action and explosive excitement to torch the screen. The film is a mixture of sympathetic police drama and physical confrontations to allow any audience to enjoy a lively Bronson movie. Excellent movie fare. ****
