When Mike gets wounded, he teams up with partner Marcus Burnett and AMMO -- a special tactical squad -- to bring the culprits to justice. But the old-school, wisecracking cops must soon learn to get along with their new elite counterparts if they are to take down the vicious cartel that threatens their lives.

The Bad Boys may not have quite reformed, but they've grown softer.

I was kind of bored when things weren't blowing up but when things are blowing up our cars are chasing I was digging it.

CGMagazine

Despite the lack of Bayhem, Bad Boys For Life’s stronger focus on characters and humor help make this sequel feel like a needed evolution for the series.

Rated: 7.5/10

Yasser Medina

Cinefilia

An action comedy that often becomes dull and redundant as Smith and Lawrence, despite their chemistry, frequent predictable places to catch criminals in the city of Miami. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 4/10

It keeps the bickering leading duo in a state of arrested development, like they were doomed to eternally chase a youth that has long since passed them by.

Liked it when originally saw it, but I can never watch another Will Smith picture. He has tarnished his legacy and had ruined any project that carries his name. Sad state of affairs, but the fresh prince is cancelled in my eyes.
