Another 48 Hours (DVD)

Following a shoot-out in which one criminal dies, Jack Cates, a San Francisco police officer, is in danger of being convicted of manslaughter. To clear his name, he must track down a major drug dealer, known only as The Ice Man, with 48 hours. Then Jack discovers that the Ice Man is after Reggie Hammond, a con man in prison following a previous case that they worked on together. Jack manages to get Reggie out of prison...but can he and Reggie stay ...
...Man is? And will Jack's name finally be cleared? Although I have seen the first film, 48 Hours, I can honestly say that I don't remember a thing about it. As such, I watched this film, its sequel, with absolutely no idea of what had happened in the first film. And I am not sure that it really mattered. It may have made me warm slightly more to the characters, but as far as the story goes, this one is more or less a stand-alone film. What did surprise ...

Review of Another 48 Hours (DVD)

...which they very cleverly entitled Another 48 Hours and that’s exactly what this is, it’s a carbon copy of the original. I thought that first film was mediocre, it hasn’t aged well since it was released over 20 years so it can be forgiven for that however there was simply no spark in the film which would have enabled it to stand out from the crowd. Another 48 Hours manages to correct these mishaps from the inferior first film however it’s still nothing ...
...was very simple but effective. Another 48 Hours have again tried to use the simple but effective method but failed miserably. You never really know what the bikers have to do with anything and the Ice Man doesn’t really come into play until the last 30 minutes of the film despite several references to him throughout the film. I think in a way the comedy is better in this film however it’s blatantly obvious that the jokes have simply been recycled ...

Review of Another 48 Hours (DVD)

...second rendition of 48 hours, another 48 hours, and this second edition was released 8 years after the original. Again Jack (Nick Nolte) turns to Reggie (Eddie Murphy) the loud mouth smart alec fast talking ex-con. Again he wants to track down some criminals with the help of this felon. What do you know he is released from prison for 'another 48 Hours' The script smells of cliché, I would like to say it was good for the sake of Eddie Murphy but quite ...
...48 hours was made before Another 48 Hours. If I am very critical the humour in part two just did not work at all it had all been exhausted in the first movie, it was just the same wise cracks and responses between the two partners Reggie and Jack. I do not think the director Walter Hill done him self any favours with this movie, actually he probably did make a lot of money!! The most amusement you will get here is Eddie Murphy singing, which somebody ...
