Beverly Hills Cop (1984) Movie Review

 PLOT

Beverly Hills Cop (1984) tells the story of Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy), a streetwise Detroit officer who travels to Beverly Hills to investigate the murder of his closest buddy. His unusual ways clash with the Beverly Hills police department's by-the-book approach, resulting in a variety of funny and thrilling scenarios. Eddie Murphy played Detective Axel Foley. He does not follow the rules, and while talented, he is also irresponsible. He was finally reunited with his friend. After a night of drinking, they return to their flat, where Foley is knocked unconscious and his companion is shot on the spot. Determined to find his friend's murderer, Foley takes a "vacation" to Beverly Hills to investigate.





REVIEW

Beverly Hills Cop* is a classic 1980s action comedy that propelled Eddie Murphy to superstardom. It is an action-detective film that solves crimes in a lighthearted manner using soft comedy. Eddie Murphy's performance is the heart of the film, showcasing his energetic charisma, fast-talking wit, and perfect comedic timing. The supporting characters add depth, and their chemistry with Murphy is engaging and fun to watch. Director Martin Brest expertly blends action and comedy, ensuring that the film is compelling throughout the chase scenes and shootouts are well-executed, and the humorous bits deliver enough laughs without overshadowing the story.

The soundtrack, which includes the classic "Axel F" theme, is another highlight of the film, capturing the essence of the 1980s and contributing to the film's ongoing popularity. The sole disadvantage is the bad people' ridiculous precision in shooting, which frequently misses the good folks despite multiple efforts. Nonetheless, the picture remains a very entertaining detective story, propelled by Murphy's remarkable performance and a strong supporting cast.

Borderlands (2024) : A wasted Opportunity  IMdb - 4.3 Rotten Tomatoes (Critics) - 9% | (Audience) - 52% Genre - Action, Sci-Fi Runtime - 1 hour 40 minutes  Rating - PG 13 Review There are some great video game adaptations like "The Last of Us" and "Fallout", and then there are bad ones like "Borderlands" The story follows a rich man named Atlas who hires Lilith, played by Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, to find his missing daughter on the chaotic and lawless planet Pandora, which is also Lilith's home.

Roland rescues Tina from a prison and escapes with her to Pandora. Tina also meets a new friend named Krieg, who is big, muscular, and wears a mask. He instantly becomes her protector, but there’s no real explanation for why. Lilith also encounters a robo...

Civil War (2024) Movie Review

  Plot The story is set in a dystopian near-future America in a civil war. A team of military-embedded journalists traveling from New York to Washington, D.C to interview the President before rebel factions attack the White House. Review   The movie does not provide a clear explanation of how and why the war started. All we know is in the distant future, some Western forces are trying to kill the president. So, people looking for political reasons might not be satisfied. As four journalists journey across the country to interview the president, they encounter a lawless, apocalyptic world divided by small armed groups due to the civil war. It is on the road trip that the film successfully shows us the war's impact on civilians and the harsh realities of life in a fragmented America as realistically as possible. The film also successfully shows us the terror and sacrifices journalists endure to get their stories. It showcases the dangers of their profession, especially during wa...
