‘Bad Boys: Ride Or Die’ Review: Will Smith & Martin Lawrence In Over-The-Top But Fun 4th Time Around As Miami’s Memorable Cop Duo


A review of 'Bad Boys: Ride Or Die' reteaming Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as Miami's famous notorious cops now riding on the other side of the law

Perhaps the most action packed edition yet, Bad Boys: Ride Or Die turns the tables on the two title stars as Mike Lawrey (Smith) and partner Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) find themselves on the run and on the other side of the law. Screenwriters Chris Bremner and Will Beall have concocted a way to bring Pantoliano’s fan favorite character back as sort of an Obi Wan Kenobi spiritual guide from the beyond to inspire our ‘bad boys’ to dig deeper and get to the heart of the truth. Before jumping into the main plot that leads all the action, and there is more of it than any previous film in the franchise – or so it seems – Mike gets married to Christine (Melanie Liburd) at a lavish Miami Beach wedding where Marcus is Best Man but suffers a near fatal heart attack on the dance floor.
