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.
