Beverly Hills Cop

Américain

What a fun movie to watch! This is just a good way to share with the family of 12 years old and up!

This film is four decades old and it still holds up for me today. I’m very much looking forward to the new ‘Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F’ film on Netflix, but hopefully that’ll get a disc release at some point.

While this still has it’s share of fun moments -- all due to Eddie Murphy and Bronson Pinchot in his now legendary cameo as Serge, and one really great car chase -the film has lost something over the years. The actual plot feels like a last minute after thought, no more interesting and surprising than a mediocre network TV cop show episode. And whenever Murphy isn’t doing a bit, the air goes out of the film pretty fast. Add to that the ungodly 80s score, and the fact that most of the most memorable moments already stick in one’s mind from seeing it years ago, this didn’t have much replay value for me 30 years later. That said, If you’ve never seen it, it’s definitely worth seeing once - the highlights are terrific - but I’d rent it, not buy it.

Item showed up in great condition. Video and audio is amazing. Glad to own one of my favorite movies on 4k.
