The latest Beverly Hills Cop sequel, 'Axel F', has received a mixed response from critics. While some praised Eddie Murphy's return to the iconic role of Detective Axel Foley, others found the film lacking in energy and originality. The film, available on Netflix, follows Foley as he combats threats to his estranged daughter's life in Beverly Hills. Critics like USA Today and the LA Times praised the film's nostalgic elements and Murphy's performance, but others, such as The Guardian and The New York Times, criticized the lackluster script and outdated feel. Despite mixed reviews, Murphy's affection for the character shines through in the film, reminding audiences of his superstar status from the original 1984 film. With a budget of $150m, 'Axel F' attempts to reignite the action-comedy franchise, but ultimately falls short for some critics who find it lacking in originality.
