Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F - A Nostalgic Ride with a Few Speed Bumps

Updated: Jul 4

Eddie Murphy returns to his iconic role as Axel Foley in "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F," a reboot that injects fresh energy into the classic franchise.  The film finds Axel, now a seasoned detective, drawn back to Beverly Hills when his daughter is threatened. Reuniting with old friends and clashing with new partners (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt), Axel navigates a high-stakes case that exposes a deep conspiracy.


Murphy remains a charismatic force, slipping back into Axel's fast-talking, streetwise persona with ease. His comedic timing is still sharp, delivering laughs through witty banter and fish-out-of-water situations. The new cast complements Murphy well, particularly Gordon-Levitt, who provides a straight-laced foil to Axel's chaos.

While the film honors the original's spirit, it doesn't shy away from updating the formula. The action sequences are slick and modern, with thrilling car chases and well-choreographed fight scenes. However, the plot itself feels somewhat familiar, relying on tropes established in the earlier films. Some may find the humor a bit dated at times, lacking the edge that Murphy brought in his younger days.


"Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" is a crowd pleaser, offering a welcome dose of nostalgia with a contemporary twist. Eddie Murphy's return is a highlight, reminding audiences why he became a comedic superstar. While the film might not reach the heights of the original, it's a fun and action-packed ride that delivers laughs and thrills in equal measure.
