Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024)

You wouldn’t guess that I’m an Eddie Murphy fan, would you? Silly as it seems, there’s something refreshing about visiting a 1980’s iconic character, 30 years later, after his 1994 revival.

The only drawback is how old all his costars are now. Eddie Murphy seems to be the only one who has aged well. Judge Reinhold and John Ashton are so old, I’m surprised they showed up for work every day.

Anyway, if you like the action-packed, rough language sort of fun that this franchise is known for, you will find the film entertaining, even if slightly derivative (see Marlow). It’s worth the price of Netflix.
