Bad Boys for Life (2020) is for Life!

 Bad Boys for Life (2020) not only provides us with a great R-rated action extravaganza but also delivers an awesome buddy cop film with the genre remaining mostly redundant in the last decade or so.

I didn't have high expectations given that Bad Boys II came out 17 years before this flick, but by attaching new writers and a new directorial team, it has led to the best entry in the Bad Boys trilogy. What's even better is that there's another sequel on the way but it will be difficult to top this blockbuster.

Bad Boys for Life reached 3 milestones:

1. Gave Will Smith a critically and commercially successful comeback in the lead role.

2. Gave us a hugely entertaining buddy cop film with the genre largely being considered dead nowadays.

3. Showed us that an awesome sequel can be made despite an almost two-decade gap between this flick and its predecessor.

The Rating: 4 out of 4.

P.S. My favorite action blockbuster of 2020.
