WORK – A time-tested shock duo

Bad Boys Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett meet to solve a final case.

At retirement time, our « Bad boys » favorite make a successful come-back in Bad Boys for Life, a buddy cop movie deliciously anachronistic where they seem even more resistant to the test of time and (almost) bullets. The recipe is timeless, a police investigation with spectacular waterfalls and well-feeling valves!

IMAGE – Class like Mike?

With incredible clarity, exemplary definition, refined details (on faces, costumes and decors), warmer and energetic colours (the sunset), boosted neons (see the nightclub scene) and intense contrasts (more precise and without black clogged), there is only a dubious smoothing during the passage in the clinic that prevents this UHD HDR10 transfer from being really perfect. And yes, they gave up their most beautiful costumes for the occasion!

SON – Pantouflard like Marcus?

Passing a hip-hop tracklist that is always adapted to the atmosphere, our anti-heroes are accompanied by a muscular soundtrack (acoustic accelerations at the slightest incartade, constantly engaged spatialisation, pyrotechnic effects that scroll from everywhere) which, on the other hand, do not use many of the channels in height (outside the final action scene) in addition to marking a difference between sound tracks (dynamics more angry in English and bass more imposing in French).

CONCLUSION – Flinted the comeback?

Thanks to the IMAX Enhanced certification of this 4K Ultra HD (high-tech A/V skills), Bad Boys continue to play it « Old » I'm going to shoot everything that moves!

Bad Boys for Life

Nyctalope like Riddick and with a very good hearing, I am ready to jump on physical editions and SVOD platforms. But if the quality isn't on the rendezvous, stop at the bite! #WeLovePhysicalMedia
