Honestly, it feels like I’m wasting away but this might be the only rest I get to have from here on out. So I’m making sure to make good use of it. Speaking of movies, I’ve seen quite a lot of them these past few days and most of them have been single movies given my addiction to them now.
You all remember Will Smith from karate kid right? That’s probably the one movie all of us have seen which starred him and this movie has and will always be part of our childhood memories. Today, I happened to come across and action and comedy movie with Will Smith as the main character so I decided to give it a shot.
THE PLOT
Detectives Mike (Will Smith) and Marcus have been friends for so long and happened to have been working with each other for decades. Detective Mike is a single man who refuses to see any women and all through this, he’s gradually getting old and nearing retirement. Detective Marcus on the other hand is a married man with kids and happened to just be the latest grandfather in town.
At his grandsons name ceremony who was named after him , he went on to advise his friend Mike to try to settle down because he , Marcus was making plans of retiring. Mike didn’t take it lighting because he didn’t understand why his friend would want to retire from the game. He thought they all enjoyed what they were doing. Fast forward, these two friends are out hanging out one night and decide to have a bet by running a race and anyone who wins gets to have the final say on this retirement issue. Unfortunately, detective Mike gets gunned down by someone on a motorcycle and this sends him battling for his life for months
Somewhere in Mexico, Isabel Aretas who happens to be ten wife of a drug lord is out to bring down everyone involved in ruining the life of her family members. With the help of her son, Armando, she manages to bring down most of these people in high positions. But her one rule for Armando and Reba emission is, Detective Mike dies last and he has to suffer. But, Armando already shot Mike and this got his mom angry.
What Armando didn’t know was that his mom had history with this detective Mike and he also happened to be his dad. Would Armando finally find out the truth and would Mike come out of this alive? You’d have to find out.
MY THOUGHTS AND RATING
I’d rate this movie and 8/10 because generally, it was a good one. I loved the comedy aspect of it and I must say, the characters made the whole show lit.
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from this movie, it’s the power of friendship. We saw how Marcus stayed by his friend, Mike through thick and thin. These were people who had been friends for years and they always made sure to show up for each other no matter the situation. This thought me that showing up isn’t a choice, it’s a decision.
I’d totally recommend this show for anyone looking to see an action movie with a touch of comedy.
