At times, Another 48 Hrs. seems less like a sequel to than a parody of the first 48 Hrs., especially when Nick Nolte, repeating his role from the earlier film, begins commenting on the cliched absurdity of the goings on. This time, Nolte risks life, limb and career as he obsessively tries to bring… More

Critic Reviews

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    You know how sometimes, in a dream, you'll see these familiar scenes and faces floating in and out of focus, but you're not sure how they connect? Another 48 HRS is a movie that feels the same way.

  • Hal Hinson, Washington Post

    Hill and his stars are merely going through the motions, but the motions are immensely familiar.

  • Richard Luck, Film4

    Not a career high for anyone involved, rarely has 90-odd minutes felt more like 48 hours.

  • Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com

    From start to finish, the picture is barely alive, staggering through a cardboard obstacle course while waving around a few guns and breasts to keep the audience awake.

  • Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily

    Tough, taut direction by action auteur Walter Hill makes this a much better sequel than its reputation.

    It's faster, funnier and more action-packed than the first. An endlessly enjoyable sequel. Better than the first. Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy are still a great team. Hard-hitting, fast, furious and relentlessly funny. What a great and fun ride. An explosive and suspenseful… More

    good sequel to a great action comedy

  • Khris N


    As most, not as good as the original. Could have been something special, but not really. Just watch it to enjoy on a night and say you've watched it. Some good gags, but Murphy is restricted from his full potential. And not much new stuff either, just old gags and laughs… More
