New Film Review: Bad Boys For Life

BAD BOYS FOR LIFE

Mike Lowry (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are back for one last ride.

This movie does a lot right.
It gives you what you want with nostalgia with the boys being back again. Even the captain is back (Joe Pantoliano)!
It gives you the great Martin Lawrence humor.
It gives you the Bad Boys 90's shoot-em-up action.
It adds a group of young tech savvy police officers or special tactics officers, who Mike and Marcus have to adapt to and seek help from.
There is also a really good bad guy played by Jacob Scipio who wants revenge on Mike Lowry.

Sadly there are problems:

The script really needed editing.
The film comes in over 2 hours and it sure felt that way.
The first hour and a half we were getting the same thing over and over....Mike gets shot at he chases but misses bad guy. Shot at...cant find bad guy. Over and over, the film does not move forward at all.
Then the end is really bad where the bad guy who kills a main character...I think we are suppose to feel bad for him. It really ends soft.

Love the characters...the script lacked...so 3 stars out of 5 for Bad Boys For Life. it is fun to see them back together.

From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
