‘Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F’ Review: Eddie Murphy Plus The OGs Are Back And The Heat Is Still On For A Winning Franchise


A review of 'Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F' with Eddie Murphy returning to the beat for the fourth time and reuniting with the cast of the 1984 original.

Beall certainly knows something about reviving star vehicle cop adventures as he is also partially responsible for the current hit number four in the Bad Boys series, also from Bruckheimer who has a real eye for matching the right talent to the right project at the perfect time (witness his Top Gun: Maverick 36 years after the original). One of the keys though happens to be Foley’s estranged daughter, Jane Saunders ( Taylour Paige) who is aiming to get her wronged-client off on his conviction, something that leads to more dire circumstances for her as she is left hanging in her car off the upper floors of a parking garage by masked bad guys determined to get what they need from her. Now back in the BH Police Department, a place he knows well, he finds himself introduced to Detective Bobby Abbott ( Joseph Gordon-Levitt), who also happens to be the ex-boyfriend of daughter Jane, but a prime candidate to partner up with Foley in his new quest which will also involve teaming up with old friends including Det.
