Verdict on Bad Boys: Ride or Die
Bad Boys: Ride or Die is an action comedy following the aging partnership going on a new investigation to prove their captain is innocent. However, it sees them needing to figure out who to trust and work with Mike’s killer son Armando.
For a franchise which is nearly 30 years old, the chemistry between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence is phenomenal. The connection built between the characters and their families is amazing. Even if the story feels safe, we are watching this because of the characters and the complex problems they are facing. Mike and his son were raised in the cartel to be a killer. Marcus always questioning his life and protecting his daughter from Reggie (WHO STEALS THE MOVIE). The action is important, and we get big moments and flashy shootouts that stand out from the crowd. It is simple, put the seatbelt on and enjoy the ride here.
Final Thoughts – Bad Boys: Ride or Die is explosive, flashy and entertaining.
