Adil & Bilall directs Will Smith, Martin Lawrence and Joe Pantoliano in this buddy cop quadrel where the Bad Boys are framed and on the run.

Very much the Lethal Weapon 4 of the series. Legacy character overload and very little narrative propulsion. Just a series of goofy sequences strung together. The camera abuse is off the chain. Martin Lawrence puts in his best ever shift and I actually laughed at Marcus’ insanity this time around. Shame that as good as the action often is there are only three set pieces with our actual heroes. The helicopter spiral sequence is a modern wonder of celluloid carnage though, recalling the excesses of the Bay-hem in Bad Boys II.
