Manthast Absolutely amazing

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The Grand Master Charles Bronson enjoyed a career boost with the successful release of Death Wish (1974) and throughout the 1970's and 1980's Bronson was in a string of violent action movies, most of which were hit-and-miss. Murphy's Law was one of those movies which can be seen as one you just have to accept the fact that it is what it is.Hardnosed alcoholic LAPD Detective Jack Murphy (Charles Bronson) successfully had serial killer Joan Freeman (Carrie Snodgress, who was effectively good value as the villain) locked up behind bars years ago. When Freeman is finally released from prison, she vows to ruin Murphy's life by murdering his stripper ex-wife Jan (Angel Tompkins) and other police officers on her hit list, framing Murphy for her crimes. After he's arrested, the police handcuff Murphy to a foul mouthed car thief, Arabella McGee (Kathleen Wilhoite) who Murphy had arrested earlier. Still handcuffed to Arabella, Murphy breaks out of police custody and the two must work together to find the real killer.By no means is the movie tame with it's R18+ rating deserved for its violence and sexual content. Leave your brain at the door and don't expect too much from Charles Bronson and the straightforward plot and you might enjoy some old school action. Otherwise, you may consider this a waste of time and look elsewhere.6/10.

Kieran Green Charles Bronson is Jack Murphy a hard drinking and an over the hill veteran detective who is mysteriously framed for the murder of his stripper ex-wife. Although taken into custody, in a desperate bid to prove his innocence Bronson escapes from custody whilst handcuffed to foul-mouthed car thief Catherine Wilhoite.(Whose wise cracks are a delight) Murphy must find the real killer who incidentally has a massive chip on her shoulder. The film has shades of 'Blade Runner' as it climaxes in an excellently staged shoot out at the famed 'Bradbury' building. 'Murphy's Law' is one of the Better films produced and released from Golan-Globus' 'Cannon Pictures'

michellelocke007 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.

thinker1691 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. ****
