Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

What a waste of my time!!!

Truly Dreadful Film

Let's be realistic.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film that made Eddie Murphy into a bona fide superstar, Beverly Hills Cop is a great example of 80s mixing comedy and drama. The script is great, pacing is natural and the performances, especially Murphy as Alex Folly is really good. Though watching it today people may wonder what the big deal is, this film was massive in 1984. To Think that Sly Stallone was originally slated to play the main character just boggles the mind. If you haven't seen Beverly Hills cop, and only heard the very famous theme, its time to give it a watch.

I wasn't in mood to see such a action-com flick but in the end I sat down to see it. Well, this was actually not an usual action comedy movie. This seemed to be a trend setter for many others which made after 1990s. Yeah, this one really was cheesy yet stylish with powerful performances. Story was quite simple about a cop's raids in an unknown state. The film as concentrates on many little plots at the same time, it doesn't drag at all to make you groove. Technical departments ain't well noticed enough in this flick which make a bit dragging watch. The production design is not too delightful against some beautiful performances. Actors are well shaped and their dialogues are swiftly delivered yet there is no such thing which seem glossy to feel. Eddie Murphy is amazing, he nails his performance to make you clap on his work. From others, Judge Reinhold is quite impressive. Lisa Eilbacher is almost wasted. Still, these things doesn't make movie unwatchable. Go for it, will make you think over today's action flicks.

"Beverly Hills Cop" is a classic movie in its own right, and it is one of those movie that everyone has seen. And it is a very entertaining movie that mixes comedy, action and a good storyline quite well.The story is about Axel Foley (played by Eddie Murphy), a police officer whose friend is murdered in Detroit, and ends up in Beverly Hills to look into the murder of his friend. He gets tangled in with the Beverly Hills police department and is soon deep in trouble as his snooping around is not appreciated.Story-wise "Beverly Hills Cop" is greatly paced and actually quite nicely built up and has a very good flow to it. The story has a lot of weight to it, and it is the type of movie that you can watch again and again.And lets not forget about the distinctive music score and soundtrack that everyone is familiar with.The movie has a great cast of talents to it, that really do great jobs with their given roles and characters. There is especially a great chemistry between Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold and John Ashton.A great and fun movie that never gets old.

Eddie Murphy is Axel Foley. The fast-talking Detroit cop. Axel Foley's old best friend Michael Tandino has returned to Detroit after been in prison for a while.One the last things Michael tells Axel is that he worked down in Beverly Hills for some art dealer which could been smuggling cocaine. But when Axel is walking Michael home from the bar Axel gets hit down and Michael gets shot down right in the hallway outside his apartment. When Axel regain conscious he decides to take a undercover vacation to Beverly Hills, California to find this art dealer Michael worked for. I Love this movie. This is my absolutely favorite movie of all time. It.s really funny but at the same time it get pretty serious. I have to watch this movie at least once a month. Great movie with great tracks too.
