face off against a mother-and-son pair of drug lords who wreak wngeful havoc on
their city.
Review: “Bad Boys For Life” opens like a “Bad Boys” film should. We are in for a
wild ride.
The goal of the wild ride is
not the heavily armed drug or mafia gang you might expect. No, twenty-five
years after their first bravura piece, the young cops became experiences detectives.
When Marcus’ hold his new-born grandson for the first time, he concludes it’s
time to retire from the job. Mike is furious and refuses to take this ending
seriously. Without a wife and family himself, running after criminals is more
than work for Mike. It’s his life.
When Mike is shot by an
escaped drug lord, Mike is determined to get him. And he needs Marcus right
next to him to do so.
I think it’s a thing these
days to create a sequel to a popular film, many years later. “Bad Boys For Life”
is one of those films. And Will Smith surely hasn’t lost his touch yet. He is
still fit enough and convincing enough to portray Mike Lowry. But time hasn’t been
kind on Martin Lawrence and it shows. The interaction between the two is still
strong though.
Is it a sequel we needed?
No, not really. But it was very entertaining. Which is exactly what you need
from a movie like “Bad Boys For Life”.
