I still enjoy seeing this film. Although it struggles a bit with the tug of war between trying to be a good action film and a good comedy, it ends up being a fun romp. It's kinda a less glitzy Beverly Hills Cop.
Billy Crystal is good, as well as Gregory Hines. Thought there are a few blatant jokes, most of the humor is borne of sarcasm and the interaction of the characters.
There are several good action sequences, including an original car chase on train tracks. The film also features a good soundtrack, with some very 80's music. The pace is still pretty good, even compared to modern 90's and 00's films which are now extremely face paced.
