Cast: Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold, Hector Elizondo
Running Time: 104 minutes
Axel Foley goes back
to Beverly Hills after his boss, in Detroit, gets killed by a gang of criminals.
Axel’s investigation in the matter leads him to Wonder World, an amusement park
in Los Angeles.
This third and final installment in the Beverly Hills Cop franchise felt like a true rehash. The story was uninspired, with so many nonsensical plot twists, and so was the acting. The filmmakers were relying heavily on that idea of: “Oh shucks, there goes that rebel Axel Foley getting himself in trouble again”. Unfortunately, Eddie Murphy’s character had lost most of its edge here. He was just going through the motions.
A few brief moments made me smile, but the comedic part was not very funny and the action was underwhelming.
