Review

Murphy dusts off the gun and jacket of Axel Foley for this third (and probably last) installment. Featuring uninspired direction by Landis, this occasionally amusing but incredibly formulaic film has Axel returning to California to investigate a lead in a carjack ring/murder case. The trail leads to a Disneyland-type park, which serves as a cover for the bad guys. Murphy gives an earnest try, though he's been through all this before, and it shows. However, III does provide more pleasure than B.H.C. II, and Reinhold returns once more as Rosewood.
