Rezension: Beverly Hills Cop - Ich lös' den Fall auf jeden Fall
The picture is action-packed, thrilling and tongue in check with humour. It was a role tailor-made for the charismatic Murphy who, with his rapid-fire delivery and impeccable timing, makes us laugh in damn near every scene; even a brief exchange with Jenny’s flamboyant assistant Serge (Bronson Pinchot), which barely lasts a minute, is comic gold.
The supporting performances are also strong. Berkoff plays a good villainous character as always. Ashton and Reinhold generate some laughs as the mismatched police partners. But as good as the rest of the movie is, without Eddie Murphy, Beverly Hills Cop would have been a run-of-the-mill ‘80s action/comedy. As it is, the film is one of the best of the decade.
