MIAMI’S FINEST ARE NOW ITS MOST WANTED.

When the late Captain Howard (Joe Pantoliano) is ”exposed” as corrupt, Mike and Marcus (Will Smith, Martin Lawrence) set out to prove his innocence.

The fourth film in the series got some decent reviews, but non-fans are unlikely to be persuaded by the hyper-stylized Miami environs, uninteresting story and the chaotic, messy approach to telling it.

The two leads are entertaining, and there are attempts to reconnect with past films in the franchise, but it’s never funny or thrilling enough.
