Bad Boys For Life

Fasten your safety belts and get set for the ride of your life as Bad Boys For Life crashes into cinemas 17 years after the second instalment.

Once again Jerry Bruckheimer serves as producer, while Martin Lawrence and Will Smith reprise their roles respectively as Miami narcotics detectives Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey.

There’s plenty happening on screen to keep ardent fans of this franchise interested, as Mike tries to coax Marcus out of retirement to solve one last case involving a Romanian mob boss who is exacting revenge for the death of her husband.

This buddy cop film is an incredibly loud, vastly entertaining and violent action-packed film with octane-charged high-speed car chases, death-defying stunts, and a high body count interweaved with laugh out loud one-liners and a great soundtrack.

The twist in the finale as bulletproof Mike fights the villain whom he ‘eloquently’ describes as ‘the fucked up me’ welcomingly negates the marketing that this is the final instalment in the trilogy. (MMo)
