Back for the fourth installment in the franchise, Eddie Murphy returns as Detroit detective, Axel Foley. Needing a plot device to send him back to Beverely Hills, he learns that his estranged, adult daughter may be in danger from crooked cops.
Besides the usual action and comedy, the film provides an awkward family dynamic to act as the centerpiece of the story. In addition to Mr. Murphy, original cast member joining the film include Judge Reinhold, John Aston, Paul Reiser, and Bronson Pinchot. New to the franchise are Taylor Paige as Jane, Mr. Foley's daughter, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Detective Bobby Abbott, and Kevin Bacon as Captain Cade Grant.
Of course, the film fills a nostalgic need for fans of the franchise, including using music from the original film and similar action sequences but there is enough original plot points and stunts to enjoy the film on it's own merits.
Currently streaming on Netflix
