BAD BOYS FOR LIFE

R, 123 minutes. Niantic, Waterford, Stonington, Westbrook, Lisbon. The third edition of the “Bad Boys” franchise starts as it must: With a Porsche swerving at impossible speeds through Miami under the expert control of Will Smith, with Martin Lawrence growing sick beside him. Smith looks over and points out that the interior of the sports car is hand-stitched leather. “You better drink it,” the driver barks. All is good. We’ve again got Smith’s cocksure Detective Mike Lowrey beside Lawrence’s more cautious Marcus Burnett. There’s the customary playful banter between opposites. It’s disappointing that the film soon swerves into weird neighborhoods as it tries to explore topics like religion, mortality, and biological determinism. — Mark Kennedy, Associated Press

BOMBSHELL

1/2 R, 108 min. Starts Friday at Lisbon. This is a legal procedural about how to successfully report sexual harassment inside a cultlike conservative bureaucracy. — Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service

DOLITTLE

PG, 106 minutes. Niantic, Mystic Luxury Cinemas, Waterford, Stonington, Westbrook, Lisbon. Universal’s “Dolittle,” starring Robert Downey Jr., boasting a $175 million budget, plus rumors of production woes. The result is an at-best mediocre, at-worst deeply upsetting dreck. — Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service

FORD V FERRARI

1/2 PG-13, 152 minutes. Starts Friday Waterford. Through today only at Lisbon. Still playing at Westbrook. This infectious and engrossing story of the 1966 showdown on a French racetrack between car giants Ford and Ferrari is a high-octane ride. — Mark Kennedy, Associated Press

FROZEN 2

PG, 103 minutes. Through today only at Waterford. Still playing at Stonington, Westbrook, Lisbon. The good-enough success of “Frozen 2” deserves medium thanks and your allotted Disney money. — Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

JOJO RABBIT

1/2 PG-13, 108 minutes. Starts Friday at Niantic and Mystic Luxury Cinemas. Still playing at Lisbon. Viewers familiar with the antic wit of Taika Waititi — from such comedies as “What We Do in the Shadows,” “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” and “Thor: Ragnarok” — might wonder what he’ll next pull out of his hat. The answer, “Jojo Rabbit,” might be a trick
