Brash, crude and very funny. Murphy's third film was phenomenally successful at the box office, aided substantially by a hit-filled soundtrack. BEVERLY HILLS COP is an entertaining, if empty-headed, cop film in which street-smart Detroit detective Murphy sets out to avenge the murder of a friend. Basically a star vehicle designed to show off the talents of Murphy--it succeeds admirably. The comedy is deftly balanced with the stunningly staged action scenes. Surprisingly, most of the laughs are given to Reinhold and Ashton. Acting honors go to Bronson Pinchot in a brief but career-making turn. leave a comment
