Bad Boys For Life [Movie Review]

I grew up to the movie Bad Boys and I have always loved the combination of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

So, it is by default that I have to watch its latest installment - Bad Boys For Life (also I have been reading rave reviews of this one).

Bad boys, bad boys

Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do

When they come for you

The movie starts with the two riding fast across town (and the beach too) - just to get to the hospital and see Marcus' grandson. Then he tells Mike that he will be retiring (as he had in the past movies) and to find Mike's love and live life. 
Meanwhile, in Mexico, Isabel Aretas escapes from the prison with the assistance of her son, Armando. From there on, Isabel tells Armando of her plan to conquer the world, first by eliminating people who have wronged her and her late husband before. And among those are Mike Lowrey.

After Marcus' retirement party, Mike was gunned down right in front of the bar by Armando, despite his mother's advice to kill him last. He didn't die but was hospitalized for the next six months. During those six months, Armando goes around town and kills those who have wronged his family.
When he wakes up, Mike determines to find the killer and asks for assistance from Marcus and Capt. Howard. Nobody wants to help him as Marcus has vowed to never hurt anyone again if Mike survives his deadly ordeal and Capt. Howard doesn't want to answer to the higher-ups every time Mike goes around town, killing people and destroying facilities along his way in capturing the criminals. 

As he was very persistent, Capt. Howard agrees to let Mike consult the Advanced Miami Metro Operations (AMMO) team, led by Mike's ex-gf, Rita. And Mike goes as Mike does, he will never sit well just consulting - he needs action. And he wants the killer to die, by his hands!
Marcus finally agrees to assist Mike in his quest to look for the killer when Capt. Howard was gunned down and killed. 
Will the team finally find the killer? Why is Aresta so fixated in killing Mike the last?

MY REVIEW Plot: 5.0./ 5.0 Oh my Gucci! I would say that this one is the best one! And when you finally know the truth at the end of the movie - that was da'bomb! The action sequence was great. Will and Martin has certainly aged and they play that factor nicely in the movie - it is so funny!
Cast: 5.0/5.0 Really Rawlins? Full marks? OF COURSE! Call me bias but I certainly love this one - as I loved the past Bad Boys.
Will I watch it again: YES. I don't mind watching it again.  The pictures are taken from IMDb and other sources on the Internet. Thank you.
