“Bad Boys: Ride or Die” Movie Review

Kevin says Bad Boys: Ride or Die kinda sucks!
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back as wise-cracking Miami detectives in a new BAD BOYS movie.
The story follows the buddy cop duo facing midlife crises at home and getting framed as cartel operatives.
Fans of the BAD BOYS movies should enjoy this because it has all the expected elements: from explosive action and dripping machismo to sports car product placement and drawn-out comedic moments. I suppose that’s what you get with a generation of filmmakers who grew up on a diet of Michael Bay movies.
The problem with this film is its utter lack of originality. I know buddy cop films rely on formula, but there wasn’t even an attempt to put an original spin on things. We are left with a cliché smoothie of a plot interspersed with out-of-place comedy where Martin Lawrence seems to be auditioning for a new sit-com.
Everything from the worn-out dialogue tropes to Will Smith’s Tommy Wisseau dye job makes this movie feel like a relic of the 90s that should be called BAD MIDDLE-AGED GUYS.
BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE gets two Oscar slaps out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
