Beverly Hills Cop (1984)



A freewheeling Detroit cop pursuing a murder investigation finds himself dealing with the very different culture of Beverly Hills.

Well-made lively and entertaining crime comedy relies less on its plot and rather mainly Eddie Murphy's hilarious performance.

Halliwell**: "Filled with foul language and frenetic, this rough-edged action comedy became one of the top box-office grossers of its year. So much for its year."

Maltin***1/2: "Sassy, tough, and very funny vehicle for Murphy, who's in peak form as a guy who's never caught off guard. Deft blend of comedy and violent action, extremely well cast, with terrific song score."
