Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F
After 40 years since the original film, that reckless, wise-cracking Detroit detective Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) returns to Beverly Hills yet again when his former partner/P.I. Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) & his estranged daughter/attorney Jane Saunders (Taylour Paige) are endangered by crooked cops & the drug cartel. Not much has changed as Axel & company keep sticking their noses where they don’t belong, getting themselves arrested or captured, crashing vehicles in wild car chases, & fighting in blazing gun battles. See some old familiar franchise faces & meet some new ones. Kevin Bacon & Joseph Gordon-Levitt were added to the cast. It’s the basic police corruption plot where victims get framed & must prove their innocence.
Alien gives it 3 “Trust me” stars out of 4.
