Editorial Reviews

The boys are back in town, but they're wearing their carbon-paper suits in this frantic but not nearly as funny sequel to the action-comedy hit. The first time around, the combination of Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte had the element of surprise going for it: Who expected these two to have chemistry? This time, chemistry is virtually all they have in a veritable rehash of the first film. What plot there is has to do with Nolte's needing Murphy (who is just out of jail) to help him clear his own name and save his job on the police force. Director Walter Hill is back in place, but this time the script is the work of action hack Jeb Stuart and the movie barely gives Murphy room to unleash his comic riffs; when he does, we're expecting them (though he's still entertaining). --Marshall Fine

4.0 out of 5 stars Can anyone please answer this question???, June 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Another 48 HRS. (DVD)

Why didnt Reggie recognize the Iceman (Detective Keyhoe) in the first movie...In the first movie, Reggie was in the precinct quite often, why didnt he recognize the Iceman then??????

I like this movie, but Reggie was the only one who knew what the Iceman looked like and the Iceman worked right next to Nolte?? his friend??...it is just a huge hole in the plot, but I did find the movie fun

1.0 out of 5 stars A very bad movie, August 3, 2006

By	Huey Freeman "World Resident" (Anywhere) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Another 48 HRS. (DVD)

"48 hours" was a classic -- one of the most original movies ever made. This sequal is just bad. The plot is contrived and doesn't make much sense, neither Eddie nor Nick Nolte looks like they enjoyed making it, and the pure joy and fun that made the first movie so captivating is completely missing.

Not recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Another pointless sequel, September 8, 2008

By	Nuisance "the rebel" (Miami) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Another 48 HRS. (DVD)

48 Hrs is the Vito Corleone of buddy cop movies. Another 48 Hrs is Fredo. What do you think made the first one a hit? It wasnt just Eddie and Nick's chemistry onscreen it was also fresh material to work with. Another 48 Hrs is just a tired retread of the first movie.

In this one Reggie Hammond(Eddie Murphy) is about to be released from jail. On his way out of prison, some biker punks shoot up his bus causing it to flip over several time. Nick's character is bent on catching a drug dealer by the name of Iceman and figures out that his case is tied in with Reggie's especially after the same people who shot at him, shot at Reggie too.

What ensues is a bunch of pointless bar brawls with stupid hicks and shoot outs with biker gang members. Eddie Murphy looks like he didnt want to be there even though I cant say the same for Nick Nolte. The movie has its moments but for the most part is kind of bland. The humor is forced and so is the chemistry between Murphy and Nolte. If you must get this movie get the two movie (48 Hrs/Another 48 HRS)on one disc deal that they have here on Amazon. At least it wont be a total lost. 48 Hrs gave birth to the buddy cop movies. Another 48 Hrs set them back a couple of years.
