Howard lets Lowery advise a new crew of Advanced Miami Metro Operations (AMMO) officers, led by Lowery's ex-girlfriend Rita (Paola Nunez), but Lowery cannot stay out of the fray when he realizes Aretas is involved due to a surprising shared connection between the two.Ī buddy and I have been awaiting this sequel for years and thought it would never happen. Lowery barely survives and begs Miami Police Department Captain Conrad Howard (Joe Pantoliano) to let him work the case with Burnett, who has secretly submitted his retirement paperwork and tells Lowery he is out of the game. Shortly after celebrating the birth of Burnett's (Lawrence) grandson, Lowery is shot by Armando on a Miami street, and several other law enforcement officers, a judge and prosecutor related to the kingpin's case are also gunned down. ![]() When Isabel Aretas (Kate del Castillo) escapes from prison, she enlists her son Armando (Jacob Scipio) to avenge her late drug kingpin husband, and Lowery (Smith) becomes a target. Bad Boys for Life succeeds based on the charms of its stars, some solid practical action and plenty of nostalgic energy. This is really a love story to Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's Miami detective buddies Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, and the remaining plot is kind of secondary. Directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah take over for Michael Bay, the film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and is shot from a Chris Bremner, Peter Craig and Joe Carnahan screenplay. This long-in-development follow-up, Bad Boys for Life, is the last movie I saw in theaters before their temporary shutdown, and I had a hell of a time at the packed IMAX showing back in January. To say I loved it would be an understatement. That is back when I barely missed a movie in theaters, especially action films, so I bought a ticket at a huge Times Square theater and watched the Bayhem explode alongside the handful of other weekday patrons. I was a sophomore in high school and on vacation in New York City with my family. Stay tuned to CinemaBlend for news on how Bad Boys 4 is coming along, and keep track of the movies that have been impacted by the spread of the coronavirus with our comprehensive guide.My memories of seeing Bad Boys II in theaters back in 2003 are kind of poignant considering all that is going on in the world. There’s still no word on if Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah will direct again, though they’re certainly game to work on both Bad Boys 4 and Beverly Hills Cop 4. Sure enough, it was announced on January 17, the same day the threequel hit theaters, that Bad Boys 4 is in the works, with Chris Bremner returning to write the script. Without giving anything away, Bad Boys for Life’s ending did set the stage for a follow-up adventure. ![]() Commercially, the threequel pulled in nearly $420 million worldwide off a $90 million budget, and as of this writing, it’s still the highest-grossing movie of 2020. Chris Bremner, Peter Craig and Joe Carnahan wrote the Bad Boys for Life screenplay.Ĭritically speaking, Bad Boys for Life earned a lot of positive reviews and ranks at 77% among critics on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the highest-ranked Bad Boys movie on that website. While Michael Bay, the director of the first two Bad Boys movies, was interesting in directing a third Bad Boys movie early into its development process, by 2018, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah were brought aboard to helm the threequel (though Bay did still contribute in a fun way). Bad Boys for Life also brought back Theresa Randle’s Theresa Burnett and Joe Pantoliano’s Captain Conrad Howard, while the new cast members included Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Charles Melton, Paola Núñez and Jacob Scipio, among many others. Coming out 17 years after Bad Boys II, Bad Boys for Life saw the return of Will Smith’s Mike Lowery and Martin Lawrence’s Marcus Burnett, with the duo investigating a string of murders tied to Mike’s past.
