Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Bad Boys for Life (out Jan 16) is a tired, formulaic, seen-it-all-before buddy cop movie. It's the kind of movie that will make a little money and be all but forgotten about in a few weeks. Our two heroes (Will Smith and Martin Lawrence) argue about nothing, struggle with a case a blind monkey could solve, and are helped at just the right moments by a team of personality-free "young guns". Grade: C.
