a5c7b9f00b As his wedding day approaches, Ben heads to Miami with his soon-to-be brother-in-law James to bring down a drug dealer who's supplying the dealers of Atlanta with product. The RIDE ALONG 2 sequel picks up about a year after our heroes' last adventure. Plans for a quick trip to Miami go bad. With the wedding upcoming, James reluctantly takes Ben with him to Miami to follow up on a lead connected to a drug ring case he's been trying to crack. In Miami, they meet Maya, a no-BS homicide detective who lets them know Miami is her turf. They also encounter AJ, a shady cocky computer hacker who reveals evidence that implicates a well-respected local businessman, the wealthy Antonio Pope. Pope harbors a vicious streak and rules South Florida's drug trade. If Ben and James can convince the authorities that Pope is a brutal crime boss they'll stop his spree. If they fail, well there may not be a wedding after all. Friction continues between rookie cop Ben Barber and his seasoned peer and future brother-in-law James Payton in this almost carbon copy sequel. <br/><br/>After discovering a mysterious flash drive during an arrest, the pair travel to Miami to hunt down a local drug lord with the help of a savvy detective………<br/><br/>Like Sister Act and Wayne's World, Ride Along was a surprise hit when first released, so obviously the studio wanted to reap the benefits of the first films success, and get a sequel out as soon as possible. <br/><br/>Now, unlike the the other aforementioned movies, Ride Along 2 plays it safe, and does exactly the same as Ride Along, but set it in Miami, and up the budget a little.<br/><br/>So if you liked the first one, the chances are that you are going to find this funny, because the film still has a choc full of its 'winning' formula.<br/><br/>Ice Cube spending the entire movie being annoyed by Kevin Hart and his antics.<br/><br/>Kevin Hart mugging throughout the films entirety, and generally being annoying, in that laughable schoolboy kind of way.<br/><br/>It's not terrible, Ice Cube gets a plethora of action sequences and a really attractive love interest because he's executive produced this, and if you like Kevin Hart, he's pretty harmless in this, in fact, he's pretty good, and keeps his atypical annoying schtick to a minimum.<br/><br/>Throw in some sub plot involving Benjamin Bratt and a wonderful accent, and a reason for Ken Jeong to appear in a movie and do nothing of any amusement, and you have this predictable, yet harmless cash generator.<br/><br/>Just don't expect a third one…….<br/><br/>………no in fact do, and I guarantee Hart is a dad to be in this one, and Cube has to go that extra mile to protect his Brother-In-Law.<br/><br/>That idea is mine mr film studio….. In my opinion this film is better than Star Wars: The Force Awakens as it is not as serious and has a comedic side to it, the best part was when Ben and James found AJ at his house and Ben chases him through gardens and the conga song is on in the background . I personally think that this film is a must see and cannot be missed, I think that it is still in cinemas until at least the end of the month in the UK but I do not know how long it is out for in America but I give it a 10 out of 10 as it uses a lot of puns and is also action packed and will keep you on the edge of your seats right until the end credits come on screen. Ride Along 2 is 5* for definite , I hope everyone who reads my review watches the film because if they don't they will surely be missing out on a lot !!!! For better and for worse, it's neither better nor worse than the original "Ride Along." That's because it's essentially the same movie.
