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

2.0 out of 5 stars By The Numbers Sequel, March 25, 2008

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

Another 48 Hrs. isn't as good a film as the oringial but it's still has it's moments. Eddie and Nick still have the chemistry as Reggie and Jack. The action seqeunces are upped a bit and the finale of the film is action pakced, althought this is one of the films that started Eddie down's fall and it shows in his performance. But for me the action sequences and the bar scene earn the film ** 1/2 stars

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

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

Though it's nice to see Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy back together, the motivation is woefully lacking in director Walter Hill's follow-up to the 1982 action-comedy. Apart from a few engaging setpieces, everyone goes through the motions for a big paycheck. "Another 48 HRS." lives up to its title - derivative in the worst sense.
