Another 48 HRS.

I like this movie, but Reggie was the only one who knew what the Iceman looked like and the Iceman worked right next to Nolte?? his friend??...it is just a huge hole in the plot, but I did find the movie fun

"48 hours" was a classic -- one of the most original movies ever made. This sequal is just bad. The plot is contrived and doesn't make much sense, neither Eddie nor Nick Nolte looks like they enjoyed making it, and the pure joy and fun that made the first movie so captivating is completely missing.

Not recommended.

Another 48 Hrs. isn't as good a film as the oringial but it's still has it's moments. Eddie and Nick still have the chemistry as Reggie and Jack. The action seqeunces are upped a bit and the finale of the film is action pakced, althought this is one of the films that started Eddie down's fall and it shows in his performance. But for me the action sequences and the bar scene earn the film ** 1/2 stars

ANOTHER 48 HRS is just that--another "48 Hrs.", but this time, it's not as much fun. The first movie had the freshness of the pairing of Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte, and had lots of action and humor. This time around, the chemistry might still be there but it seems a little shopworn, and it's not as much fun. The plot is a rehash of thousands of crime movies, and Murphy who had now become a box office smash, gets top billing, but doesn't capitalize as much on Reggie's sense of comic timing. Andrew Divoff, who was to go on to make the WISHMASTER films, is a vile and convincing villain, but the rest of the cast seems to phone in their performances. If you really liked the first movie, you'll probably enjoy this but may be disappointed when you're finished viewing.

For the past four years, San Francisco cop Jack Cates has been after an unidentified drug kingpin who calls himself the "Ice Man". At the Hunter's Point Raceway, Jack confronts Tyrone Burroughs and Arthur Brock. Jack kills Brock in self defense, but Burroughs escapes, and Jack is in danger of going to prison because Brock's gun can't be found. Jack finds a picture that proves that the Ice Man has put a price on the head of Reggie Hammond, who is scheduled to be released from prison on the next day. Jack tries to convince Reggie to help him clear his name and find the Ice Man, but Reggie says he won't help unless Jack gives Reggie the $500,000 that Jack has been holding on to for Reggie. Jack refuses to give Reggie the money unless Reggie helps him. After the bus that is transporting Reggie away from the prison is forced to crash by two bikers and Jack gets shot by the same two bikers, Jack forces Reggie to help him by having the hospital release Reggie into his custody. Reggie recognized one of the bikers as Richard "Cherry" Ganz, the brother of Albert Ganz, the escaped convict Jack killed years ago. Another 48 Hours provides much entertainment and if your a fan of Eddie Murphy, I would recommend you giving this one a try.
