Eddie Murphy was once a very talented actor. He has been criticised for selling out in his latest films, by going from a great action-cult-comedy film star to a family film maker. It was the film 48 hours that gave Eddie Murphy recognition, and it was films of those genres which lead to movies like Beverly Hills Cop. Beverly Hills Cop was made in ...  Read the complete review

'Beverley Hills Cop' is one of those films from the 1980s that they just don't make any more! You can put it in the same grouping as 'Lethal Weapon', 'Back to the Future' and most Arnie films and entitle it 'Effortless Entertainment'. Because it's just so easy to watch. The whole combination of characterisation, acting and soundtrack works very ...  Read the complete review

Once upon a time there was a loud mouth fast talking comedian known as Eddie Murphy. In recent years he's been replaced by a comedian hell bent on churning out money spinning family comedies with none of the real spark shown in his earlier years. We will always associate De Niro with Raging Bull, Pacino with Scarface. It's the same with ...  Read the complete review

This is such a classic film, and probably the best thing Eddie Murphy has ever done! Lines from the film (like the deep deep one) are still said from time to time, and so it will live on for a long time to come.

This is one of those movies that I saw loads of times when I was younger. I was huge fan of Eddie Murphy's portrayal of Detroit cop Axel Foley. On recent viewing...the movie is by no means a classic.

Axel Foley, or Eddie Murphy was lucky to be given this opportunity. The plot is great, the humour great and the action suitable. It is the film that made his career. The first sequel was justified and by all standards was good, but number 3 was absolute pants. Taggart and Rosewood are the pivotal support actors that round the film off very ...  Read the complete review
