Jim's Review
There is lots to unpack for this review and lets start in the past.. I was huge fan of the Bad Boys (1995) and the sequel Bad Boys 2 (2003) then there was a huge break until Bad Boys for Life (2020) which reveals of of Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) weird past with a witch with whom she had a son Armando Aretas (Jacob Scipio)
Fast forward to Bad Boys Ride or Die (Adil & Bilall) who also directed Bad Boys for Life.
In this installment Marcus Burnett ( Martin Lawrence) is going to mid life crisis and Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) has his own ghosts to deal with.
Captain Conrad (Joe Pantoliano) sends them a video from the past regarding some corrupt cops and some crazy things that happened way back in Bad Boys (1995) and Bad Boys 2 (2003).
Burnett and Lowrey are on the hunt with some help for team in the previous film. There are some cool cameos from Michael Bay director of first two films driving a porche and Fletcher (John Salley) tech wizard who is now club owner. Manny the Butcher (DJ Khaled) is mean and hilarious and Jay Shetty author play wedding officiant at Burnetts wedding.
There is also amazing scene with Reggie (Dennis McDonald) who had breakout role in Bad Boys 2 (2003) who is now Burnett's son-in-law and enlisted in the army. He is pressed to duty when their home is invaded and his to protect his wife and mother in law and fast paced action sequence.
The climatic end is full of guns a blazing, drones flying and alligators chomping and in true fashion Bad Boys get the recognition they deserve and Miami's cops who get the job done ride or die
8.5 out of 10 stars
