In this second film about Detroit detective , the foul mouth and tough Axel Foley(Edddie Murphy) again returns at Beverly Hills to resolve the responsible for the murder of his chief(Ronny Cox)who is gunned down by a tall woman(Brigitte Nielsen).He decides to track down and lead to an alphabet robberies that are masterminded by arms kingpin.As always, he's helped by a pair of sympathetics mates(Judge Reinhold and John Ashton).They'll have to confront against evil nasties(Jurgen Prochnow and Dean Stockwell) and hold numerous risks,odds and dangers. The picture is plenty of action,humor,suspense,tongue in check,shot'em up and is developed with agility and movement and for that is amused. The picture provides fast and furious amusement with spectaculars scenes and unstopped action.Relief comic is in charge of Eddie Murphy but his foul and fast talking creates most big smiles and causing wreak havok on the way.Besides his varied jokes with the sidekicks steal enormous laughs.For that the picture is a ¨Buddy movie¨ although are a trio protagonist.Eddie Murphy as streetsmart detective is top notch, as Axel Foley is his greatest smash hit and converted him in a top international star confirming his position with continued success in the box office.Fish out water formula used in several films is well narrated and originates enough laughter to satisfy the viewer.The giant Briggite Nielsen -just married with Stallone- is attractive and cold.Friends couple,Judge Reinhold and John Ashton, are nice and likable. Director Tony Scott stunningly scoring highest marks on action , the film is correctly made. Motion picture will like to action packed enthusiastic and Eddie Murphy fans.
