Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is, as the title clearly suggests, the fourth chapter of the beloved saga led by Eddie Murphy, featuring the return of part of the original cast, such as Judge Reinhold and John Ashton, along with new additions like Kevin Bacon and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The story, which follows the familiar vibe of the previous three films in the franchise, once again follows detective Axel Foley, who finds himself back in the sophisticated environments of Beverly Hills to investigate the untimely death of a long-time acquaintance. Directed by Mark Molloy, a first-time feature director with a celebrated career in advertising, the film leans even more into the Bad Boys vibe with a laid-back tone, plenty of humor, and just the right amount of action.
