“Bad Boys: Ride Or Die” (**1/2 out of four) was an engaging sequel about the title cops (Will Smith and Martin Lawrence) who try to clear the name of their deceased captain (Joe Pantoliano) falsely accused of conspiracy and instead find themselves on the run and having to clear their names and simultaneously clean up the streets. Fourth entry in the series is mechanical and follows the usual formula and pattern but still manages to crank enough action and (at times) laughs to make it fun. By the end, though, you may start to wonder if perhaps they’re getting too old for this shit.
