“Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” (*** out of four) was a winning sequel about the return of Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) who has to go back to swank Beverly Hills to help his daughter (Taylour Paige) and gets mired up in a sinister plot involving a ruthless cop (Kevin Bacon) and has to turn back to former friends (John Ashton and Judge Reinhold looking odd) for help. Nowhere near up to the hilarity and dazzle of the first 2 but far more agreeable and entertaining than the last entry which came out 30 years ago! Kudos also to bringing back Harold Faltermeyer’s sizzling original score and other soundtrack selections and to Murphy for being aces in a role that he began all the way back in 1984.
