BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

travis36 Usually a sequel in the 80's to a great movie tanked but this one actually was better than the original. The action was constant and flowed quickly. I read that the original run time was cut quite a bit by the studio and many of the supporting cast had reduced screen time. Nolte was great and continued his original character. Murphy definitely took over as first billed and was a much more dominant lead character. The plot had a continued story from the original that made it interesting. The laughs were good and another great soundtrack. The only con was some of the gunfights had bullets flying everywhere but everyone was missing.

Spikeopath The theme tune says it all really, the boys are back in town. Nolte and Murphy are back together as cop and convict wading through a plot as lazy as it gets. Walter Hill directs once again and it's only his action scenes that stop this from being an outright stinker. Every thing about it comes off as a cheap cash in lacking originality, with scenes even reproduced from the first film here. A strong supporting cast of character actors file in to make some easy money, with the likes of Brion James, Ed O'Ross, Brent Jennings and Kevin Tighe at least proving to be reassuring presences.Murphy and Nolte jostle, fight each other and swear a lot, which would be OK were it not already done so much better in the first film. All things considered, it's a no brainer really to suggest you watch the first film instead. 5/10

Maziun No action , no humor , no freshness . First movie had some originality in it . It felt fresh and Eddie Murphy was a discovery . Here ? Once again Nolte needs Murphy help . Once again they will argue and help each other . Once again there will be some action and laughs.Unfortunately not . The movie sticks to the formula that worked so well in the original , yet everything sucks . There isn't anything here that I liked in the first one – unpredictability , jokes and chemistry between two stars.The plot tries to surprise the viewer with a twist in the end , but it fails to impress anyone. The chemistry between our heroes is gone and the whole movie feels like " We have to do it to get some money" . It feels tired and uninspired. I guess it's still better than what Murphy's is making now – family friendly crap movies , but still it's a bad movie . Not a disaster like "Robocop 3" or "Batman and Robin", definitely not . Still , I give it 1/10.

FilmBuff1994 Another 48 Hours is a good enough movie with a pretty decent storyline and some reasonable performances from Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte.Its definitely a disappointment compared to the first 48 Hours,and a lot of the jokes seemed repeating from the first one (for example,the scene's when Reggie Hammond is singing) and I really felt like they were just doing it for the money.However,I do feel that if you put this movie on,and you never saw the original,you would probably enjoy it,if you just look at it as an easy to watch comedy,not a sequel.Fans of the first 48 Hours will probably be very disappointed by this movie.Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) releases Reggie Hammond from prison again in order to catch the Iceman,a drug dealer who is almost impossible to catch,but Reggiewants nothing to do with Jack this time around.
