another 48 hour represent negative represent if you want a synopsis of what be wrong with many movie in the 1980 ’ s ( and why the decade have such a bad cinematic rap despite some great film ) another 48 hour provide a great starting point . ( despite be make in 1990 ) . the first 48 hour be a bonafide hit that start and or or influence the cop buddy film genre for year to come . it be eddie murphy ’ s first film and along with trading place make him a star . it combine comedy with intense straight up action and still work today despite have it convention replicate in a thousand film since 1982. another 48 hour come on the scene at a different time . eddie murphy have just have some high profile cinematic bomb and people be anxious for his next great hit . ( little do we know at the time and how great a wait people would have . ) nothing that work in the first film work here . eddie murphy sleepwalks through his role and the film simply be not funny . the action scene be not much well . the villain look like a klingon biker gang . there be a muddled story with a reveal at the end that could not make less sense if they try . the direction by walter hill be pedestrian and the jazzy soundtrack practically assault the audience . there be a few positive . nick nolte seem game throughout much of the film despite the ridiculous script and some of the action set piece be decent . over all the film be a clear miss and an example of why sequel get such a bad name back in the eighty ( okay early ninety ) . overall the film be not worth ten minute of your time let alone another 48 hour .
