Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F

Forty years after his first big break, Axel Foley leaves Detroit behind and heads to Beverly Hills with a sharpened instinct for trouble and a notebook full of old cases. The wisecracking detective returns to chase criminals, follow clues, and light up the city with his signature mix of bravado and improvisation. What starts as a routine cross-coast assignment quickly spirals into a high octane pursuit that hops from sunlit streets to neon nightclubs. The film leans into the franchise classic buddy dynamic, pairing Foley with a new circle of allies while letting the city itself become a living backdrop, gleaming, dangerous, and funny. Expect loud action, fast banter, and the crowd-pleasing energy fans remember from the original films.

Directed by Mark Molloy, the movie builds on the Beverly Hills Cop lineage with scripts credited to Will Beall, Tom Gormican, and Danilo Bach. It arrives in 2024, carrying the series forward while honoring its roots.

Reception appears mixed to positive, with early audience scores hovering around 6.7 out of 10. The film mixes nostalgia with speed and noise, exploring the tension between a streetwise veteran and a city defined by glamour and excess.
