My review

It is time for next movie on this hoilday edtion Martin Luther King day with a movie I been waiting to review for years and it is called Beverly Hills cop with great Eddie Murphy let’s see what I think of this movie.

Good parts of the film

Eddie Murphy acting in this one he is very funny he plays a Detroit cop who now must take on Beverly Hills in California in a funny way he made me laugh within 5 mins of the movie action heats up as he try to catch bad guys but truck he in back start moving look like he heading for ride that good start to movie with action with him going after bad guys that a good start boy did he go for one heck of a ride here in first 10 mins .

Also love the soundtrack bye Harold for movie it gives that good 80’s vibes for this era and fits in well good music though the movie.

Pretty much the whole movie is good action good music and acting as well from Eddie from start to the end

Good plot or bad?

The story Is good axel friend gets killed and he wants to find the killer so he goes to Beverly Hills and look for answer on the death of his long time friend so sort of like revenge story thr question is who do you trust in big city of Beverly so plot is very good for movie good comedy too.

Funny parts of the movie

Where axel is annoying the cops one cop does not like him at all as you can but again Eddie as axel F is very funny in this one he indeed does this character as one of his best for comedy.

Acting good or not?

Too me there no bad acting in this one as it is very good again by the cast of this movie and again by Eddie there.

Action good or not

It start off good but even got better in the last 20 mins of the as they go after the bad guys axel does take out one but gets shot as cops there do a goof lucky one of them shows up and saved the day so very good action in first one of this movie series here.

Ending thoughts

Well axel like it out there so much he Is staying in Beverly Hills I think or he saying goodbye otherwise it was good and funny ending to first movie of the series

Final thoughts

After watching it though have to say it was one of Eddie great performance too me and like it as well not a bad movie with good last I do plan on watching the next one and review it probably on the next Holiday date as well so get ready for that any fan of Eddie who has not see this one should it is very good that all I got to say have a good rest of your Martin Luther King Day.

My review

Happy new year all with the very first movie review of the year here called safe passage from 1994 a movie that pop up on YouTube early for me so figure I review it since I needed something to review on first day of 2026 and happy new year

Good movie or bad movie?

Well thought this one was good story on a mother having problems with her life and her family and get worst she may of lost a son who might of die they did not say but it just a maybe so do you find out at end if he died or not sure they go over a hour into movie and just say maybe just tell us sure they drag it unit end so could be happy ending or sad one too but this does not bug me much as plot of mom was very good this mother went though a lot she does have 7 boys that was tough one yeah but plot is very good for this one.

Acting good or bad?

Acting was very good great acting from Susan Sarandon she plays the mother role in this one that for you also had Sean astin who name I know very well he acting was not bad either but Susan was top for acting on this one that for sure.

Final thoughts

So did get a happy ending yes he ok but after they got news the movie ended could of ending with him coming home and hugging his family but that ok almost thought they ended it bad again good movie very well writing and acting from cast even from Susan I do like her acting in movies as well so indeed to close out this new year review saying this indeed a worth checking out got to go happy 2026 everyone.
