Bad Boys: Ride or Die - A Thrilling Ride with a Heart
The latest installment in the Bad Boys franchise, Ride or Die, is an action-packed thrill ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence reprise their roles as Miami detectives Mike Lowery and Marcus Burnett, and they’re back with a vengeance.
The dynamic duo is back in action
The movie follows the familiar formula of the franchise, with Mike and Marcus taking on a new case that involves a decades-long cartel mole in Miami. The plot may not be the most original, but it’s the chemistry between the leads and the ridiculous action scenes that make this movie worth watching.
Will Smith is back and better than ever
Will Smith shines as Mike Lowery, bringing his signature charm and wit to the role. His character’s personal life is also explored, and it’s interesting to see how the movie addresses his real-life controversies. Let’s just say someone gets slapped in this movie.
Martin Lawrence also delivers a standout performance as Marcus Burnett. His character’s heart attack and subsequent coma lead to some hilarious moments, and his performance is reminiscent of the comedic genius of the earlier Bad Boys movies.
Martin Lawrence brings the laughs
The supporting cast is also impressive, with Jacob Scipio reprising his role as Mike’s son Armando. He makes a great action hero, and his scenes with Mike and Marcus are some of the best in the movie. And then there’s Reggie, Marcus’s son-in-law, who steals the show with his unexpected action chops.
Reggie is the surprise star of the movie
Overall, Bad Boys: Ride or Die is a fun, action-packed ride that’s perfect for fans of the franchise. It’s not going to win any awards for originality, but it’s a great way to spend a couple of hours.
