Detective Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is back on the beat in Beverly Hills. After his daughter's life is threatened, she (Taylour Paige) and Foley team up with a new partner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and old pals Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) to turn up the heat and uncover a conspiracy.

Critics Consensus

Content to let a very game Eddie Murphy bring all the heat, the fourth Beverly Hills Cop coasts on nostalgia but marks a welcome return for Axel Foley.

It’s better than you had any right to expect it to be.

Murphy might be one of the most talented performers of any generation and it’s thrilling to see him back in the role that turned him into a movie star.

Murphy slides back into the character like a well-worn glove, although the added dimensions he brings to Axel through age and experience give the film the distinction it needed to justify its existence.

Rated: 3/4

Ramble On With Buffa (Substack)

The good thing is Eddie Murphy wears the role like he wears that trademark coat, with the ease of a veteran funnyman who knows how to steer an action comedy. John Ashton, Judge Reinhold, and Paul Reiser all return classily to their respective roles.

Rated: B

Fish Jelly Films (YouTube)

A desolately plotted excavation of Eddie Murphy's first iconic role, the fourth installment of Beverly Hills Cop is functional nostalgia porn crafted solely to replay the greatest hits but not daring to say anything new.

Rated: 2/5

It was nice to see Eddie Murphy return to the role of Axel Foley in Beverly Hills cop Axel F. He was classic Eddie Murphy and he fit the role perfectly as an older more experienced cop with the same antics of his sleeve.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started to watch the movie, but the laughs came quickly in an unexpected way which was great. Obviously it's a nostalgia trip, and the ending was a bit light, but I really enjoyed it right the way through.

The story was way to predictable for my taste, but its still is the only sequel worthy to the original.

Just a fun blast from the past. They nail the charm of the original and it doesn’t take itself too seriously, much like Axel 😄

Awful movie. Even worse than the 3rd installment. There is nothing positive to say, couldn't wait until it ended. Not sure what the point really was here, they should made an effort to simply make a good movie rather relying on nostalgia alone.
