Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F
Detective Axel Foley is up to his usual tricks in Detroit when Billy Rosewood, an LA private detective and long-time friend, contacts him for help. Foley's daughter, Jane Saunders, is a lawyer involved in a high-profile case and has been threatened. Foley sets off for Los Angeles, renewing many acquaintances and finding himself in the middle of a sinister conspiracy.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F isn’t a bad film—it just doesn’t quite match the blockbuster energy of the original classics. It leans heavily on nostalgia, much like many modern streaming releases, but to its credit, it does so with enough charm to almost stand on its own.
While it’s enjoyable and definitely worth a watch, especially for longtime fans, it doesn’t have the same rewatch appeal as the originals. If given the choice, I’d likely revisit Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2 before coming back to this one. Still, for a Netflix-era sequel, it does a decent job of keeping the spirit alive.
