‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die': First Reactions From Public Screenings
Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the fourth film in Sony's action franchise starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, had its first public screenings on Wednesday night, and the first reactions have already hit social media.
At a fan screening at AMC The Grove 14 in Los Angeles, Smith and Lawrence made a surprise appearance. There were also screenings in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Miami, New York, Philadelphia and Washington DC.
The plot to Bad Boys 4 is driven by corruption within the Miami PD, with Captain Conrad Howard (Joe Pantoliano) accused of working with the drug cartels for years. Detectives Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) put together a team to clear Howard's name but become outlaws in the process.
As well as Smith and Lawrence, the cast includes Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Paola Núñez, Eric Dane and Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd. Franchise regulars Joe Pantoliano as Captain Conrad Howard and John Salley as Fletcher also return.
Bad Boys 4 is helmed by Bad Boys for Life directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, the Belgian duo who infamously had their $90 million Batgirl feature for Max shelved by Warner Bros. Discovery in 2022.
Bad Boys: Ride or Dieopens in theaters on June 7.
Full critics reviews for Bad Boys 4 won't drop till closer to the film's release. Read on for a sampling of the first fan reactions to the film after the first public screenings.
