Almost 30 years since we were first introduced to our favourite wisecracking detective duo, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back for more hilarious buddy cop action in Bad Boys: Ride or Die. Brought to you by Sony Pictures Entertainment, Bad Boys: Ride or Die sees detectives Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) embarking on a dangerous mission to clear the name of their late police captain, who has been linked to drug cartels.
Singer/actress Vanessa Hudgens also stars, alongside Tasha Smith, Paola Nuñez, Alexander Ludwig, Eric Dane and DJ Khaled. Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah return as directors of this action comedy that’s filled with jokes, camaraderie and thrills galore – not to mention the usual on-screen comedy chemistry that we’ve come to expect between the two leads.
