Beverly Hills Cop
IT’S DIFFICULT TO TRUST FILM REVIEWS THESE DAYS
They’re usually put out there by shills who are bought and paid for… Or they’re plants direct from the studio… Or they’re simply published by lily-livered hacks too scared of being black-listed by the corporations that own the studios… But BRONSON GREEN gives it to you straight !
REGULAR 3-LINE NO-FRILLS, NO BS FILM REVIEWS… SIMPLE AS THAT, READERS !!!
Beverly Hills Cop - Without Murphy’s energy this clever Bruckheimer-Simpson updating of the detective genre would be lucky to receive any marks because of it’s formulaic approach to virtually everything, but Breast is smart enough to just let super-cool Murphy rip the place up. He bounces well off of everyone, makes several scenes classics, and becomes an unlikely icon complemented brilliantly by Glenn Frey and Faltermeier. Highly likeable, though thinness of concept would already be evident by part two (amazingly, they somehow squeezed 3 sequels out of it). 7.9/10
