‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’ Review: Sequel Proves Will Smith and Martin Lawrence Still Have Gas in the Tank

When Danny Glover’s Sergeant Roger Murtaugh famously intoned, “I’m getting too old for this shit,” in 1987’s “Lethal Weapon,” Glover was only 41 years old. Three films later in “Lethal Weapon 4,” Glover was still at it at the age of 52. We now have the fourth outing of the “Bad Boys” series, “Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” and stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are 55 and 59, respectively. The “Bad Boys” franchise turns 30 next year.

By blockbuster standards, this franchise should be decrepit, and yet “Ride or Die” shows that Smith and Lawrence, with the aid of directors Adil & Bilall, have no intention of slowing down.
