Bad Boys: Ride or Die

Adil El Arbi and Bilall, who also directed "Bad Boys for Life," were a formidable directing team; they gave the picture a polished look without letting things get out of control. Because there is no passing of the torch in the movie, it also avoids the legacy sequel trap that "Bad Boys for Life" seemed to set up. The Bad Boys aren't made into almost superheroes; instead, they are still just regular people who get panic and heart attacks. "Ride or Die" is an excellent action-comedy movie as well as a fantastic "Bad Boys" movie. The movie is a terrific addition to the franchise since it strikes the ideal balance between heart, humor, and action.
