Bronson Pinchot
Reviews Featuring Bronson Pinchot
The definitive Eddie Murphy movie.
A strangely-timed and ill-conceived addition to a franchise that had already had its day. Its little other than a vehicle for kick-starting Eddie Murphys career, but doesnt work. Thankfully, Murphy recovered to do a bit better with the likes of "The Nutty Professor", "Bowfinger" and "Shrek".
As a boxed set "Beverly Hills Cop Collection" isnt up to much the sequels are poor and only the original movie gets the adrenalin pumping. The only way to escape being left with a tainted memory of Axel Foley is to watch the first one and give the other two a wide berth so save yourself a bit of money while youre at it and buy "Beverly Hills Cop" on its own. Its a classic, but its the only one.
After a hundred minutes of this, youll know exactly why their hubbies couldnt stand to be with them any longer.
This hugely entertaining thriller excels thanks to lashings of black humour, style and action and a supporting cast hardly rivalled in terms of acting (not star quality) in recent times. Definitely to be ranked up there with its movie cousins, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
