You see, I was once like you, a common thief, only I thought bigger. Steal an apple and you're a thief, steal a kingdom and you're a statesman. Only weak men stop there. You're either the most powerful man in the world or you're nothing.

Movie Review | Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (Molloy, 2024)

Listen, I was always gonna be an easy mark for this. You could play "Axel F" over a slideshow of Eddie Murphy's career and I'd be having a good time. And this is definitely heavy on the fan service. Within the first ten minutes, you've not only gotten the classic theme, but also "The Heat is On" AND "Shakedown". I was barking like Pavlov's dog. You have not just Axel Foley, but Rosewood, Taggart, whoever Paul Reiser played, and even Serge. And aside from Murphy... time comes for us all. To be honest, Judge Reinhold and John Ashton probably look a lot worse than they actually should because of their terrible dye jobs. You know who look good in this? Reiser and Bronson Pinchot, because they let their hair go grey. They understand the winds of time cannot be reversed, only accepted. There's enough shtick from all the boys here that it surpasses the meager expectations of a long gap fan service sequel. Ashton definitely has "day trip from the retirement home" energy, but I was hooting and hollering when Reinhold picked up an AK. "You can never have too much firepower."

But those without Beverly Hills Brain Damage might appreciate the modest amount of effort that went into this. This is definitely a streaming original and doesn't play at too high an energy level, but it's usually closer to "real movie" than "SNL parody" or "commercial homage to classic film". (One exception is the Nasim Pedrad scene, which plays closer to The Other Guys than authentic Beverly Hills Cop.) While only the second film is really satisfying as an action movie, the action here is directed with some visual flair. And most importantly, Murphy might operating at no more than 50%, but the fact that he's putting in effort when he so frequently does not means that this is worth some attention for fans of one of our great comedic talents. Much better than the "no more jokes" bullshit of the third movie.

I will say that this one's release date is definitely not coincidental, as it feels designed to live on as something that autoplays after you finish one of the recent Bad Boys sequels. It's got the same digital magic hour look, and even the same composer in Lorne Balfe, this time riffing on Harold Faltemeyer instead of Mark Mancina. And it's even got the same bullshit with the younger generation. Joseph Gordon-Levitt used to headline movies, and now he's stuck playing this movie's version of AMMO. To be honest, he actually plays pretty well off Murphy, and their scenes together are a lot more enjoyable than the boring ass father-daughter bonding scenes Murphy has with Taylour Paige. I understand Murphy is big on family these days, but he has a family in real life. So keep that shit at home. If I'm watching Beverly Hills Cop, I want nonstop laffs.

And on one last note, I appreciate that this didn't try too hard to modernize the formula, although the sudden concern Foley shows for police accountability and corruption is pretty rich given how blatantly he misused department funds and straight up took a bribe in the second movie, on top all the usual rule breaking he gets up to in all of them.
