State of play: Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) returns to Beverly Hills to uncover a conspiracy after his daughter's life is threatened in the fourth installment of this popular '80s franchise.
What they're saying: Viewers can expect "a lot of action, excitement, belly laughter and guest appearances, because there's a lot of other people that are in the movie that you didn't see in the trailer," actress Chantal Nchako, tells Axios.
