It’s the continuing, bombastic adventures of Miami PD detectives Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence)! However, that director of bombast, Michael Bay, is only appearing in a cameo here, and our two “bad boys for life” are now middle-aged. One might be tempted to imagine this would render their whole cops-n-robbers milieu much less bombastic.
