Story line
Michael Bay's 1995 action smash starring Martin Lawrence and Will Smith continues the story of two Miami cops who will go to any lengths to get things done oh and it's completely bad but insane
17 years has passed since bad boys 2 and we rejoined the titular duo Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett at a crossroads in their lives Mike wants to keep on doing what they do best indiscriminately killing criminals and inventive fashions while driving fast cars but Marcus is ready to settle down as he's just become a grandfather you are papa but when a figurative ghost from Mike's past makes a horrific and violent return the pair are forced to weigh what really matters to them and what they'll do to protect it we fly together we die together oh no it's hard to get too far into the story without revealing some of bad boys is strangest secrets and boy does it have those but stylistically directors be lalala and Adil lrb do a great job paying homage to the bonkers of Bay while updating the look of the film so it doesn't seem dated when sitting alongside the Hobbs and Shaw's of a contemporary action landscape speaking of which bad boys for life definitely feels like it took some tips from The Fast and Furious spin off when it comes to pushing the boat out with some of its stranger action sequences and set pieces while it never quite reaches those heights it's an ambitious attempt to meld over-the-top superhero inspired action with a more classic r-rated violence and comedy that the bad boys franchise is known for me in 2020 there's definitely an aspect of bad boys that plays differently as the earlier films arguably glamorized police violence bad boys for life does try to reckon with that a little attempting to speak to the idea of pacifism and coming to terms with your past but what really saves the film from any deep critical breakdown is its own commitment to being completely and utterly ridiculous by the end of this movie you'll likely be wondering if the whole thing takes place in a John wick style alternate universe and who knows maybe it does I hope it does this is my wife's car cover the front door bad boys for life is at its core doing what any studio movie does these days setting up a potential new franchise let's call it bad boys the new class these new members are mostly made up of a militarized police force known as ammo which is staffed exclusively by inexplicably good-looking eckstein actors unlike most films trying to introduce new legacy characters though bad boys for life does it relatively well the younger cast is charming and their ongoing dynamic with elected elders is a fun one y'all will never do that again while delivering the fast cars well cut suits an impeccably shot action bad boys for life flails slightly when it comes to pacing narrative and anything that exists below the very shiny surface basically if you're prepared for the silly savage and sometimes completely unbelievable r-rated action the bad boys for life has to offer then you'll likely be glad you went along for the ride it works to build.
