Reviews of the Will Smith-Martin Lawrence 'fourquel' and Michelle Williams' indie comedy-drama.

When their late boss Captain Howard is posthumously implicated in cartel crimes, wisecracking buddy cops Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett set out to clear his name.

The bad boys are pushing 60. In the face of marriage and mortality, they remain ever juvenile in a 29-year Hollywood blockbuster franchise as dumb and loud as only Michael Bay can make it – and ticket-buyers would not want their popcorn escapism any other way. This action-comedy fourquel brings back the guns and explosions, as the detective duo find themselves framed while investigating corruption within their ranks, on the run from their own Miami Police Department and the whole of law enforcement. Worse, the Mexican cartel has a bounty on their heads.

There will be no flashes of inspiration, no sparks of genius. American indie cinema darling Kelly Reichardt is the bard of the quotidian, and Showing Up is a droll serio-comedy of a ceramicist named Lizzy, so distracted by mundane dramas she barely has time for her art. The director’s muse, Williams, returns from Wendy And Lucy , Meek’s Cutoff and Certain Women to star.
