"Yeah, but I WANT one."
The long-mooted third Bad Boys movie has taken so long to be made that it can playfully address the fact that its stars are much older now but it still delivers very well on the action front. Taking some bold narrative steps in the first act that grab the audience's attention, at its heart this is a lean, propulsive revenge thriller that almost seems self-aware of the franchise's inherently outrageous cheesiness and for the most part plays it admirably straight. Sunshine-bright and neon-soaked Miami looks fantastic, both leads use their seasoned professionalism to good effect, and overall Bad Boys For Life is far more effective and entertaining than could have been expected.
