Bad Boys: Ride or Die
Stream
Rent & Buy
After their late former Captain is framed, Lowrey and Burnett try to clear his name, only to end up on the run themselves.
What critics thought
Critics landed in mixed-to-middling territory on this fourth Bad Boys installment, finding Smith and Lawrence's chemistry still functional but the film itself exhaustingly chaotic. The plot logic and escalating stunt nonsense drew real skepticism from reviewers, even as audiences showed up enthusiastic — a notable gap between critical and popular reception. The central question critics kept circling was whether sheer kinetic noise is enough when everything else is running on fumes.
“The plot is nonsensical, the grenade-dodging stunts are even more nonsensical, and the internal logic is non-existent: the assertion that Marcus has to avoid stressful situations after his heart attack is forgotten within 30 seconds. But the film is fun enough in its chaotic, grungy, rough and ready way.”
