Beverly Hills Cop was first released in 1984 and stars Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley, a tough as nails, foul mouthed, street smart cop from Detroit whose friend Mikey is murdered after leaving Beverly Hills with stolen property, upset at Mikey’s death, Foley heads to Beverly Hills where a world of trouble awaits him.
Personally, I enjoyed this film a lot, enough so that I would have seen it if I was alive at the time it was released, Murphy is on top form in the role that made him a star, showing real charisma and screen presence as well as a mouth all his own, the supporting cops in played by John Ashton and Judge Reinhold help support Murphy very well by being the straight edge to Murphy’s funny man and last but not least Gil Hill as Eddie’s boss in Detroit almost steals the show with his F-bombed tirade.
Out of 5, I will give this a 4, it has great humor and enjoyment value.
