Having had its VoD release date brought forward, Bad Boys for Life might just be the ticket for those looking to banish the lockdown boredom.

Bad Boys for Life cheat sheet

Released: 2020

Director: Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah

Cast:  Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig

Run time: 124 minutes

Rating (US/UK): R / 15

The third and we're told final instalment in Michael Bay's Bad Boys movies sees Will Smith and Martin Lawrence reunited for their roles as Miami detectives after a 17 year break. The long-awaited follow-up to 2003’s Bad Boys II is this time directed by Belgian duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah but still has the same sort of high octane set pieces that made the original two films so popular.

This third outing sees Smith and Lawrence reprise their roles as Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett as the duo are called in to investigate a string of murders tied to Lowrey's troubled past. As they endeavour to bring down a cartel just before their retirement, they end up having to face down an actual witch, (yes, really).

As incredulous as the plot may be, the movie managed to become the highest-grossing film in the series so far during its curtailed theatre run and now holds the record for the biggest January release of all time in US cinema history.

Read on and we'll explain how to watch Bad Boys for Life online wherever you are in the world.
