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 Jun 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 Jun 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 Jun 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 Sep 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

Joseph M @RT97232942 Oct 21, 2026 The bikers in this movie are absolutely vicious. Well played by the actors in those roles. Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy deliver in this sequel. See more
Gunner I @RT64755212 Oct 7, 2026 People just don't appreciate a good movie when they see one. I cannot believe this one got such low reviews. I also can't believe it took me 36 years to watch it. Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte did a great job in it and I encourage anyone who likes a action/comedy to watch this. See more
Paul P @SticksGood Sep 21, 2026 The music sounds like Commando but Commando is actually interesting. I never watched the first 48 Hrs but this wasn't very good at all. See more
Robert P @Superbad Sep 11, 2026 This movie is only worth 2 stars... See more
Jason H @RT50328122 May 22, 2026 I prefer this one to the original. See more
Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life Apr 6, 2026 For some reason I can't explain this movie gets a lot of hate. I really enjoyed this movie and was excited to see Jack and Reggie back!!! The boys are back!! This time Jack is after the iceman. The twist we get is mind blowing but not something we haven't seen done before. The comedy still hits and I wish we could've gotten a third one.
