Bad Boys for Life is the third film in the series and stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence once again as they deal with a mysterious group killing off people connected to the case that put their ring leader in prison so Smith and Lawrence must ride together one last time to save the day.
Bad Boys for Life is good fun and first off Mr Smith and Mr Lawrence have good chemistry together and watching them spar back and forth is good fun throughout the film, secondly Joe Pantoliano is great as the disgruntled police chief who chews them out for causing a mess and its nice to see him in a movie again.
Also I have to say that I love the little nod to the late Don Simpson who produced the first Bad Boys film in 1995 before sadly passing away a year later in 1996.
But special praise has to be given to the films directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, they did a great job directing the film in taking on Michael Bay’s style as much as possible while also not cutting every tenth of a second and slowing things down wherever possible and giving action fans some good old fashioned MA15 rated violence, these guys are currently lined up to direct Beverly Hills Cop 4 for Netflix and I hope that Eddie Murphy trusts these guys to do a good job as after this movie I am very keen to see what they do with Axel Foley provided Eddie trusts them enough to do it.
And so that was Bad Boys for Life and its good fun though its not the best action film you’ll see out there, 3 out of 5.
