What happens

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is a 2024 American buddy cop action comedy film directed by Mark Molloy (in his feature film directorial debut) and written by Will Beall, Tom Gormican, and Kevin Etten from a story by Beall, and produced by and starring Eddie Murphy. It is a standalone sequel to Beverly Hills Cop III (1994) and the fourth installment in the Beverly Hills Cop film series. The film also stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Taylour Paige, Judge Reinhold, John Ashton (in his final role), Paul Reiser, Bronson Pinchot, and Kevin Bacon. In the film, Detroit detective Axel Foley returns to Beverly Hills to protect his daughter Jane and friends while uncovering a conspiracy. The film entered development in the mid-1990s under Murphy's production company. Various directors and screenwriters were attached over the years, including the filmmaking duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, but the project had faced multiple issues and has undergone development hell. In April 2022, Molloy was hired to direct, with production beginning in California that August. Jerry Bruckheimer returned as producer after working on the first two films in the series. This is the first film not to be distributed by Paramount Pictures or theatrically released. Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F was released on the streaming service Netflix on July 3, 2024. The film received mixed reviews from critics, although it was deemed a return to form for the series, and an improvement over its predecessor. It was the most-streamed film on Netflix for almost two weeks. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
