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

Harry G Feb 2, 2018 Another inferior sequel but this one has its moments. Walter Hill ups the violence but can never capture the charm of the original. Lots of violence is offered up and for fans of the first film it is an okay sequel. See more
Jan 20, 2018 Wow, this is so bad it's funny sometimes :)
Hermione P Dec 28, 2017 Terrible terrible sequel.
Hermione P Apr 2, 2017 Huge disappointment!
Theodore S May 24, 2016 One of the most underrated 90's sequels. I enjoyed it very much, and was just as good as the first.
