Bad Boys: Ride or Die

Whatcha gonna do when bad boys come for the box office? Chances are, if you are a theatre owner, you hopefully will sell some tickets.

This is the fourth installment in the Will Smith and Martin Lawrence-led buddy cop series and Will Smith’s first major film in which to appear since he assaulted Chris Rock onstage at the 2022 Academy Awards. We see Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett in the biggest jam they’ve ever faced. When new evidence comes to light implicating the late Captain Howard in a lifetime of drug-related crimes, the bad boys vow to clear his name, even if it means coming in the crosshairs of the cartel and the cops. Bad Boys: Ride or Die is rated R.
