Watch now:

BAD BOYS 5: VENGANZA (2026) is what happens when a franchise looks you dead in the eyes and says, “Retirement is a myth.” Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett are older, louder, and somehow even more allergic to peace than ever—because peace doesn’t come with cartel bounties and hostage situations in Rio de Janeiro. This time, the stakes aren’t just personal… they’re bloodline-deep. When Armando is taken, the movie doesn’t waste time pretending there’s a legal route to justice. It becomes a full-throttle, off-the-books suicide mission into the favelas, where every street feels like a trap and every second screams danger. The tone is classic Bad Boys—slick, chaotic, funny in the middle of gunfire—but the scale is bigger, dirtier, and more ferocious than anything the series has done before.

What makes Venganza hit so hard isn’t just the explosions—it’s the chemistry that refuses to age. Will Smith still moves like a bullet with a grin, and Martin Lawrence remains the human heartbeat of the franchise: terrified, dramatic, hilarious… and somehow the most dangerous man in the room when it matters. Their banter lands like it always has, but there’s a weight to it now—like both men know they’ve used up nine lives already, and the tenth is running on fumes. Jacob Scipio brings real intensity as Armando, turning him into more than just a plot trigger, while Jenna Ortega injects fresh energy into the chaos, flipping between sharp competence and reckless confidence like she was born into the madness. Old-school gunplay collides with new-school parkour, and the film plays that contrast beautifully: one moment it’s tactical brutality, the next it’s pure “Bad Boys logic” where physics and consequences get thrown off the nearest rooftop.

And then there’s the third act—the part critics are calling “insanely irresponsible filmmaking,” and fans are calling the greatest thing ever put on screen. The chase through Rio is so massive it feels like the city itself is running for its life, and the sequence past Christ the Redeemer is borderline surreal in how epic it looks. But nothing—and I mean nothing—prepares you for the moment when Marcus Burnett, a man who fears flying like it’s death itself, decides to weaponize a helicopter like a battering ram. It’s ridiculous. It’s suicidal. It’s pure Bad Boys insanity, and it somehow becomes the most iconic stunt the franchise has ever pulled. BAD BOYS 5: VENGANZA is loud, dumb, emotionally charged, and absolutely glorious—proof that some legends don’t fade… they just explode harder. 9.3/10 — Bad Boys for life, even if it kills them this time. 🔥🇧🇷🚁🔫
