    • Some described the moment as a ‘pop exorcism’ or ‘tasteless nod to The Slap.’
  • Deception (30%)
    The article makes multiple references to the Oscars incident where Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. While it is mentioned that the author(s) of the reviews quoted in the article are making observations about a scene in Bad Boys: Ride or Die, there is no clear distinction made between these observations and statements about the real-life event. This creates a blurred line between reporting on an event and editorializing about it, which can be considered deceptive. Additionally, the author does not disclose any sources for the quotes from critics Owen Gleiberman, Nick Schager, and Johnny Oleksinski.
    • He writes, ‘It’s ‘punishing’ Smith, making cruel fun of his transgression'
    • Schager said the tasteless nod to The Slap meant to rehab Smith’s image does less to enliven the proceedings than merely fulfill expectations
    • The moment appears to be a nod to Smith’s infamous Oscars incident two years ago
  • Fallacies (90%)
    The article reports on the events in the movie 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' where Will Smith's character gets slapped repeatedly by Martin Lawrence. The author does not make any fallacious statements about these events. However, there are several instances of appeals to authority when the author quotes critics Owen Gleiberman, Nick Schager, and Johnny Oleksinski who offer their opinions on the scene and its connection to Smith's Oscars incident. These appeals do not affect the accuracy or validity of the article's content but can be seen as an attempt to bolster the author's argument by citing reputable sources.
    • Owen Gleiberman described it as a 'direct reference' to the Oscars moment, calling the scene 'a kind of pop exorcism.'
    • Nick Schager mentioned the moment in his review, calling it a 'tasteless nod to The Slap meant to rehab Smith’s image.'
