Beverly Hills Cop (1987) Movie Review

PLOT

Beverly Hills Cop II tells the story of Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy), a Detroit cop who returns to Beverly Hills after his friend and superior, Captain Bogomil (Ronny Cox), is shot. Foley teams up with detectives Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) to investigate a string of crimes tied to a criminal mastermind.

REVIEW

Beverly Hills Cop II" is the sequel to "Beverly Hills Cop" (1984). The premise stays the same, but with more action and a deeper detective plot, building on the original film's basics. Eddie Murphy shines as the main star, providing his trademark loud, rule-breaking performance. The original supporting actors return and do a great job, maintaining their chemistry and adding to the film's appeal. The action is more intense, featuring numerous explosions and extensive damage. This time, there are more detective sequences, adding depth to the storyline. While the plot is predictable, with the bad guys' actions revealed early on, the film remains a fun comedy about a group of police officers solving a crime.

The movie's catchy soundtrack, 80s vibes, and Eddie Murphy's charismatic crime-solving make it an entertaining watch. It's rated R for violence, gunfire, and shooting scenes.
