Bad Boys for Life is a 2020 American action comedy film directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Will Smith and Doug Belgrad, and starring Smith and Martin Lawrence. A third Bad Boys film was discussed after the success of the second, with Michael Bay stating he would be interested in returning to direct but budget constraints would make it difficult. The film went through several attempts at development over the next decade, with various writers and directors attached. The project was finally announced in October 2018, and filming took place from January through June 2019 in Atlanta and Miami.

Bad Boys for Life was theatrically released in the United States on January 17, 2020, by Sony Pictures Releasing through Columbia Pictures. It received generally favorable reviews, with some critics calling it the best of the series.

Well I’ve been a fan of all the “Bad Boys” films from the get go. This one is definitely what you would expect and to me they out did themselves from the previous two. If you’re up for an action film this is packed with action and one-liner humor throughout.

Nonetheless, it was great fun and I recommend it, especially if you are a fan of the franchise. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence work great together, and the remaining cast also does its job really well. It’s a very entertaining film that is exponential in action scenes as the film build to an amazing crescendo.

This film is definitely set up for another sequel(s). Stick around for the credits to see the segments they have for you - it’s worth it.

All in all I really enjoyed the movie and was really glad I saw it in IMAX (that was perfect). Since I was born in MIAMI and lived there for several decades It was great to see where they shot the scenes.
