Review of Beverly Hills Cop (1984) by Stefan G — 08 Feb 2014

This film is basically what happens when you get the cowboy cop to integrate with the buddy cop genre, while adding in the key element of Eddie Murphy's magnetic acting talent. The characters are thoroughly enjoyable, even the seemingly minor characters, though the humour sometimes isn't exactly noticeable.

The main attraction of the film is its style. It carries the veneer of the 80's in almost every aspect, including its soundtrack. While it's certainly no classic, it deserves the recognition it gets, even if it's not as good as other 80's cop movies.
