cast
Eddie Murphy as Reggie Hammond Nick Nolte as Jack Cates
Jack: You got framed. That's what every convict says!
Reggie: Well, what about you, man? They never found that bad guy's gun out at the racetrack!
Jack: That's different.
Reggie: How's it different?
Jack: I'm a cop, you're a crook.
Reggie: Oh, get the fuck outta here! Just 'cause I'm a convict, every thin' that comes outta my mouth is a god damn lie?
Jack: That's right.
Reggie: So it's just Screw Reggie Hammond?
Jack: That's right!
Desperation and greed mark Walter Hill's "Another 48 HRS." It is the kind of movie that assumes glass breakage, gunshots, loud music and truly thumpingly and obscenely amplified punches are the equivalent of entertainment. For some they may be. For others, beware.
