Rated: 6/10

When the first Bad Boys movie had released back in 1995 — yes more than two dacades back — nobody would have thought that the series would surive this long. More so, since the last Bad Boys movie was released back in 2003. In these intervenng years, a lot has changed for the Miami Police Department finest — Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett.

The duo in their career spanning over 20 years, put away over 800 criminals and each one of them wants to kill them. Who is after Mike, so much so that they want to make him suffer before putting a bullet in him? That is what this last movie in the series is about — the last ride so to say.

Interestingly, Mike and Marcus want different things from life after Marcus becomes a grandfather. The two parts ways with Mike saving his partner’s name in his phone as Quitter. But they are bad boys for life. And time and circumstances throw the two together for a ride that has car chases, bulltes flying, bodies dropping like flies all over the place.

Then there is the whole detecting the case old school versus using technology to chase a case throws interesting moments that make you smile and brings in the much needed lighter moments amidst all the blood.

Will Smith may not have lost his touch as the bad boy but he does look like age has finally caught up with him and maybe he is way past the age where he fits this role.

But it still doesn’t take away the fun from the film. We just hope that Bod Boys for Life are there in the future as well.
