Did you find the plot interesting?  I didn’t know what to expect from this film before watching it myself.

Did I like this one? This film was a blast to watch.

Pros: The two leads had still got the same chemistry as 25 years ago, Miami looks great as It’s was ever been, the 3 new recruits were pretty likeable & this at a lot plot twists that you won’t expect.

Cons: this film had a lot going on in it, the villains were one note killers, a lot of messy CGI effects & the 2nd act was the least favourite part from the film.

  • Will Smith as Detective Michael Eugene “Mike” Lowrey
