I liked the first two BB films so I was always going to watch this. I don't have a great recollection of them, but going off memory, there is more drama here, that is quite intense at times, and given that, some of the comedy, largely what Martin Lawrence is in the movie for, as he does very little police work, feels out of place. Enough of it works to offer some laughs, but at times I thought it didn't. I didn't love how the movie ended. It became quite predictable, including the setup for the sequel. I didn't buy how quickly a murderous, cold-hearted cartel member, who has known one thing his whole life changed, and didn't seem impacted by his mother being shot and burnt to death. He reacted more strongly to meeting his father for the first time than he did his mother being killed. The cliched young guy on the squad not getting along with the experienced member, Will's character, for no reason at all, and then liking each other all of a sudden, for no reason at all, didn't work. It's like an important scene was cut. Despite some plot issues, it's fairly entertaining with some eye-catching action and a likeable cast.
