Beverly Hills Cop 4K 1984

A wonderful comedy thriller, a true standard of the genre! The movie that grossed a lot of money at the box office and made Eddie Murphy a superstar and spawned two sequels.

Actually, Eddie Murphy is the main star of the film - his talent as a comedian is revealed here in full. Facial expressions, jokes, even laughter - all this remains in the memory of the audience for a long time. Despite the fact that the plot is based on villains-killed-the-best-friend-must-take revenge on them, it is as old as the world. However, the very development of the storyline deserves only high marks, in the film there is not a single extra second, not a single extra frame, but there is an inimitable Axel Fowley - a charming, unusually resourceful and funny police officer with "slightly" original methods of fighting crime. And his involuntary partners, LAPD detectives - a kind of fusion of youth and experience - look very dignified, although, of course, it is obvious that Murphy's acting is at the heart of everything. The film's music is also excellent.

In general, the 80s comedy action films with Eddie Murphy look like a separate, unique genre for me. In addition to the three parts of "Policeman ..." you can also recall "48 hours" with a continuation. These films, causing nostalgia for the 80s, are like a vivid reminder that it is not at all necessary to pump 100 million or more into a film, that you cannot replace a real acting game with the most modern computer graphics. And it is not surprising that you want to watch them again and again, although you seem to know them almost by heart. If only for the sake of hearing the inimitable laugh of Eddie Murphy again and seeing his smile ...
