A sequel after 17 years, although the director has changed, it is a cool surprise to see the original director Michael Bay make a cameo. Additionally, the incredibly popular mega-star musician @djkhaled also appears, which truly shows great sincerity;
If you are not familiar with the previous installments, there’s no need to worry about missing out on the fun, because the chemistry between the two main characters allows you to feel their brotherly bond without much introduction, and all the elements that a thrilling film should have are definitely present～

In terms of the plot, after watching Gemini Man last year, I couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu when I saw Will Smith's emotional scenes and the main storyline in this movie, as it resembles the concept of confronting a younger version of oneself～～
If you are looking for a movie to watch with friends during the New Year but don’t know which one to choose, I highly recommend this one～

On a side note, I really liked a fable about a Buddhist and a horse that the captain shares. The exact dialogue is a bit different, but I'll share from memory. The story goes like this: a passerby asks the Buddhist riding a horse, "Where are you going?" The Buddhist replies, "Ask the horse～" Will Smith, who was listening to the story, looked confused, and the captain explained: "The horse represents past traumas and emotions. You should learn to control your life, not let past traumas lead you. You must understand when to rein in your impulses." This resonated with Will Smith's state at that moment. Unfortunately, it was too late, as the story continues in the latter half with his redemption for his past and his journey to face his present self～
What left a strong impression on me about this segment is that the actor playing the captain, #joepantoliano, is known for one of his roles as the traitor Cipher in the first Matrix movie. I recall that he often speaks slowly and delivers thought-provoking lines, like when he decided to betray his partner and had a dialogue with Agent Smith: "I know this steak doesn't exist, but when I eat it, my brain tells me it's delicious and juicy." His disdainful expression and tone subtly reveal his rebellious mindset, preferring to live in a fantasy world instead of facing the harsh reality—a deep-seated nihilism～ Yet in Bad Boys, his tone remains, but he broadly expresses the greater wisdom of life, which is the most memorable performance for me during the viewing～
