Beverly Hills Cop - Axel F movie review

Director: Mark Molloy
Rating: 3/5
Runtime: 118 min
The 1984 release, Beverly Hills Cop was a landmark film because it helped establish Eddie Murphy as a bankable star, had a peppy pop song-laden soundtrack, and still has the power to draw you into its narrative exploits. This fourth film in the Beverly Hills Cop series starring Eddie Murphy, comes 40 years after his first outing. The third sequel was released in 1994 so it was about time for the series to be resurrected. Most of the characters from the original movie are back in action. And of course they are aged and much slower on the action but that hasn’t stopped them from doing what they do best. Taggart, Rosewood, an unrecognizable Jeffrey and Serge are all there.
