AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
CoolJL I watched this in cinema when it came out and watched many times afterwards. This is one of those guilty pleasures, one of my favourite action movies. Don't try to intellectualise this, if you are then you are completely missing the point. Leave your thinking brain on the side, don't really need it, and just get ready to be entertained.I must say though, performance of Téa Leoni isn't particularly good in this, her acting here is very wooden, but fortunately it isn't enough to spoil the whole movie.
adonis98-743-186503 Two hip detectives protect a witness to a murder while investigating a case of stolen heroin from the evidence storage room from their police precinct. Bad Boys is the perfect example of not all of Bay's films are that bad. The acting and the chemistry between Smith and Lawrence is incredible, the jokes are fantastic and the action is breath taking (especially the car chase in the end). Overall a great action flick both over the top but also hilarious. (10/10)
Mihai Toma A team of two narcotics investigators must take in custody a key witness after an immense quantity of drugs has been stolen right from the police. Together, they must solve the case in order to keep their jobs but their difficult and different characters will play an important role in the investigation, especially with a witness which has no sense of security or respect for other people's property.It's an action packed movie which brings excitement with almost every scene it depicts but its biggest upside is by far the quality of entertainment and laughter it provides. This is how a comedy should be made. This is how you keep the viewers pointed to the screen, by providing them a good plot and a couple of complex characters which manage to make you laugh out loud with almost everything they do. It doesn't have the best story or the best implementation, but it has two brilliant actors which will definitely raise your mood.
Mopkin TheHopkin Bad Boys is a film directed by Michael Bay, and stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as two buddy cops. The film revolves around a drug heist from the vaults of a police station, and encompasses a related double murder, that needs to be solved by Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence). Fortunately for our buddies, one witness, Julie Mott (played by Tea Leoni) survived and will only assist Lowrey in his investigation, for fear of retribution from the criminal gang responsible for the heist and murders.This is a typical '90's action film, with buddy cop comedy, gun fights and explosions, and incomprehensible "switched identities" confusion. This film is pretty muddled where the plot is concerned, to say the least. The acting is typical Smith/Lawrence. They are funny and the buddy drama is well done, but it is difficult to take the two seriously, as they are often pursuing a punch line over any criminals. The heroes feel invincible, as they drop one liner after one liner during gunfights and car chases. This isn't always a bad thing, but leaves the viewer craving more of that, and less of the muddled Lowrey/Burnett swapping, or the wife who mistakes the switch for a cover-up affair with Leoni's character. Leoni herself was pretty good, but her character had little to do throughout the film, besides being the maguffin of the film.As you can see above, my opinion on Bad Boys is mixed. It's fun, and good for a laugh or two. The action is solid, if clichéd and a bit dated, but this is no complaint. The story, however, is a befuddled mess. The side characters are useless, and Lowrey and Burnett's buddy cop routine is strained during much of the film, due to incomprehensible identity swapping. The film is fun at times, and trying at others. It's worth a watch because it's fun, but for very little else.
