Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMichael Bay: The director of Bad Boys (1995) and Bad Boys II (2003) appears as as an irked driver who almost runs into Mike Lowery. He's shown driving a black 1990s 964 Porsche 911 Turbo, the same car Mike drove in Bad Boys (1995), which was in fact Bay's own car.
- GoofsWhen Marcus is on the hospital roof in nothing but a gown, the sign on the adjacent building says that it's a Grand Hyatt hotel. Miami doesn't have a Grand Hyatt, but the one shown is in Atlanta, a sign that most of the movie was filmed there.

The action scenes, while brief and sporadic, feature our heavily battered yet inexplicably bulletproof heroes. These sequences are interspersed with lengthy, tiresome filler dialogue that does little to advance the plot or develop the characters. The two hours in the theater felt more like a slog, as the film struggled to maintain engagement with its audience.
"Bad Boys 4" at times resembles an ego-shooter game, a style that may appeal to fans of intense, immersive violence. However, this aspect requires a particular taste for such content. While the film manages to deliver solid entertainment and the dynamic chemistry between Smith and Lawrence remains a highlight, it ultimately fails to rise to the level of a masterpiece.
One of the most glaring issues is the evident aging of the main actors. Smith and Lawrence, though charismatic, often show their age, and the series' attempt to maintain the high-energy antics of its predecessors feels forced and out of touch. The weariness is palpable in many scenes, making it clear that the franchise is running on fumes.
A passable action film that relies heavily on the established rapport of its leading men. It offers a familiar blend of action and humor, but its lack of originality and overused clichés render it a largely forgettable experience. While fans of the series might find some enjoyment, it's time for this franchise to finally rest, acknowledging that its stars can no longer convincingly play the roles of youthful action heroes.
