Don't mess with a winning formula. The fourth entry in this franchise, once again stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as Miami detectives, Mike and Marcus. The film gives it's audience just what it expects, lots of laughs and plenty of violent (but not particularly bloody) action and great Miami scenery. It's the type of story that defies logic much of the time but who cares, right?
The two stars have great chemistry and riff seamlessly off each other. May of the prior film's co-stars return including Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Paola Nunez, Jacob Scipio, DJ Khaled, and Joe Pantoliano. New to the franchise are Tiffany Haddish, Ioan Gruffudd, Rea Seehorn, Tasha Smith and Eric Dane (who makes a fine villain).
It's a shame that the trailer reveals too many significant scenes, which lessen the impact when you watch (happening with too many films lately) but the script has found a way to keep this "popcorn" movie fresh, even when you know what's coming. And thankfully there are scenes to enjoy that are not in the trailer.
