That's How You Command the Universe.
3.5 / 5
Directed by Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah.
After their late former Captain is framed, Lowrey and Burnett try to clear his name, only to end up on the run themselves.
The Bad Boys franchise is an absolute rollercoaster.
The first film is a solid buddy cop action comedy but the sequel dials everything up to 11, incidentally making one of the most memorable action films of the 2000s. Almost 20 years later when the series was revived, Adil & Bilall brought the characters back but never reached the heights of the second instalment.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die follows the pattern of Bad Boys II, learning from its mistakes and delivering an immensely enjoyable action comedy built for the big screen.
Fuelled by the disappearance of their highly-anticipated Batgirl film, Adil & Bilall use modern tools and camera innovations to create sequences that have never been seen on screen before, throwing everything into making this the most explosive entry yet.
I wasn't expecting to love the fourth instalment in a series quite this much but I was pleasantly surprised by Bad Boys: Ride or Die and the fact that Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's chemistry is just as strong almost 30 years later.
