Review of Beverly Hills Cop (1984) by Brad G — 26 Aug 2013
The 80s Action Comedy was born with this Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer production, and Eddie Murphy has never been better than he was here as the wisecracking fish-outta-water Axel Foley. His black man assault on rich white society is infectious; Axel Foley is the cross hair on Reagan Era consumption, but Beverly Hills Cop is too damn funny to be a genuine cultural critique.
Great music, great one-liners, great violence, great Bronson Pinchot. Anything beyond that is just the cherry on top. VF.
