Bad Boys owes a large chunk of its existence to Beverly Hills Cop, and yet that franchise has succeeded in maturing where this one has certainly failed. So, what does Axel F have to say about the Beverly Hills of the 2020s? Jane’s character only updates Axel F to somewhere around the mid-2000s when every female lead was po-faced and hyper-competent.
