What to Know

Critics Consensus

Even the return of Eddie Murphy, Nick Nolte, and director Walter Hill can't hide the lazy, patchwork quality of Another 48 Hrs.

Bob Thomas Associated Press 06/12/2018
After a few films unworthy of his talent, Eddie Murphy returns to form with what he plays best: the fast-talking survivor in a hostile world. Nick Nolte also shines in a role tailored to his shambling frame. Go to Full Review
Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader 06/24/2015
It's a minor pleasure to see Murphy slightly subdued. What seems more problematic is the virtual exaltation of Dirty Harry vigilantism, the storm trooper mentality and behavior on Nolte's part that the film breezily takes for granted ... Go to Full Review
Peter Rainer Los Angeles Times 06/24/2015
Walter Hill, who also directed the first film, surely recognizes the hollowness of what he's doing here. He also hasn't had a hit since "48 HRS.," which no doubt explains why he's once again tilling these charred fields. Go to Full Review
Mitchell Beaupre Paste Magazine 09/29/2023
5/10
Hill exercises his action muscles with numerous sequences of vehicular mayhem that get the blood pumping well enough, but the plot feels decidedly like something written on the fly that lazily rehashes what worked in the original. Go to Full Review

2/4
It looks good-slick and polished in a way that the rougher, more engaging 48 Hrs. was not-but it also feels rote, by the numbers, a cash-in. Go to Full Review

Melissa M @Lisey 1d This action pack sequel is even more dirtier & trashier then the first one. And it does what a lot of sequels don't do. It picks up where the original movie left off. It has new villains like the Iceman & Cherry Ganz. Like the way the movie keeps you guessing on who the Iceman is to the very end. Hollywood pretty much all they make now is prequels & sequels. But out of all the sequels Hollywood has put out this one is definitely in the top 10. The soundtrack to the movie is Meh. But Reggie Hammond singing the classics is LOL. When Reggie is on the prison bus belting out a James Brown classic. And his offbeat rendition of Roxanne while he's incarcerated is LOL.

Doesn't really have any idea what it wants to be. I like when people get shot with guns and they fly back 20 feet. See more Martin R @mrosendhal Oct 19 You could almost sense at times that both Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy were thinking ' what are we doing here?'...It is a retread storyline and lacks the original's engaging villian. I liked Brion James; and Murphy and Nolte still had a solid rapport - so the film is watchable but not anything more. I wanted to add - though she had only a few scenes in the original - I missed Annette O' Toole. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 21 Funny in 1 hour and 35 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $78,100,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then the owed money for jail protection from a certain jailed individual. Also, the biker gang, tries to get revenge for their fallen brother. All in all a good movie. If they want a third one, I wouldn't know where to start, but you have to introduce a new enemy, the reason why to pull the antagonists back. See more Read all reviews
