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]

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.

Hill and his stars are merely going through the motions, but the motions are immensely familiar.
