Axel Foley is back in Beverly Hills trying to help his daughter who has been threatened to stay off a case and former detective Rosewood who has gone missing.
Thirty years on the franchise picks up and its in okay shape. Desperately trying to reference the earlier films via music callbacks and bringing everyone alive back for the film, the film spends much of the first half hour annoying the piss out of the audience. Its a badly done greatest hits reel and it made me want to turn off the film and give up.
Fortunately the film picks up once Foley gets to Beverly Hills as the call backs lessen and the new stuff kicks in. For example Joseph Gordon Levitt is great as a young detective and the action sequence mostly rock.
Definitely worth a look, I'll be curious if a sequel happens and what it's like.
