In this sequel to 48 HRS, Reggie (Eddie Murphy) is finishing out a jail term for his earlier crimes; meanwhile, his former partner, Cates (Nick Nolte), has spent the past four years trying unsuccessfully to track down a vicious drug dealer. When Reggie is released from jail, he is horrified and frightened to learn that Cates' dealer has put a warrant out for his life. But when he brings it to the attention of the police department, they seem unwilling to help either partner locate the criminal. Reggie suspects that the department is involved with the dealer--and he's determined to find out how. [More]

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.

Color-by-numbers sequel that copies the action while forgetting the comedy.

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

On it's own it's entertaining. As a sequel, it's dissapointing.
