A cheerfully over-the-top action film, Bad Boys is notable chiefly for the rapport between its two stars, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, as two Miami cops on the trail of a drug kingpin as they try to protect a witness (Tea Leoni). Smith is the swinging bachelor and Lawrence the family man, and both must juggle their personal lives as they baby-sit the one chance they have to recover a stolen drug shipment, save their jobs, and take down the drug dealer. While the film is almost always implausible and its story is something seen many times before, director Michael Bay (The Rock) keeps things moving stylishly and at a feverish pace, as Smith and Lawrence prove themselves a terrific comic pairing. Their odd couple banter flies at a faster clip than the bullets and explosions, and becomes the best reason to see this hyperbolic but entertaining action flick. --Robert Lane

Fun movie, you have everything from shoot um up bang bang, to explosions. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are great together and play off of each other very well. I had ordered this movie from Abundatrade threw Amazon and never received it. Even tho Amazon refunded my money I have yet to hear anything from Abundatrade, Not even we're sorry from Abundatrade. And you would think that a company like Abundatrade would want to keep customers. Ohh well in any rate I got a copy from Block Buster here in town that is going out of buisness. I'm so glad that I found it here, I forgot that it really was a good movie.
 OK but not Will Smith's Best...Which I think we have yet to see September 23, 2009
Vintage Movie Reviewer
The plot in this movie is absolutely nothing spectacular and is VERY basic. There are also plot holes all over the place. The constant arguing between Smith and Laurence also gets on the nerves and spoils the slight chemistry that they have. But Michael Bay's direction puts a glossy shine on an otherwise cruddy movie. But he made the movie in 1.85:1. Why?
The plot, for what it's worth, concerns a dealer (Tchecky Kayro in a virtually nameless role) who s an idiot member of his gang. Beautiful
Julie Mott (Tea Leoni) witnesses the slaying and is marked for . She calls the cops but for a dumb reason will only talk to Mike Lowrey (Will Smith). Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) is the only person there who can take the call and assumes the role of Mike in order to take Julie into 'in-home' protective custody. Why he doesn't just reveal to her right away that he told a little white lie only to get her out of harms way...I dunno. Perhaps it is because it's the only plot element that the legion of writers could abuse to inject the slightest amount of comedy and drag out an 85-minute to 2 hours. It irritates beyond comprehension and the film should really have been dumped in the direct to video bucket instead of having a cinema release. But as long as the film masquerades as a proper Hollywood movie everything will be okay.
A Hollywood movie it certainly is. It took 10 years for Bad Boys to be made and many changes to the script took place in that time. It was originally set in New York and was to star John Lovitz and Dana Carvey as the leads. It was shopped around Hollywood, chewed-up and spat out by many studios, until Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckhiemer picked it up and thought that turning it into a shiny and bright action adventure could redeem it. The budget wasn't too high and Bay did as much as he could considering the tiny amount of money he had (even spending part of his own salary) and did an impressive job too. The action scenes certainly make up for the lulls in the plot. Too bad there is not enough of them.

An impossible heist of millions of dollars of heroin, stored in the Miami Police Departments evidence room, has just become possible by a man named Fouchet and his group of thieves. After the heroin has been stolen, Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) and Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) are put on the case to get the stolen heroin back. The only lead they have though is a woman, Julie (Tea Leoni) that was shot at and who also watched her friend get gunned down by the same guys who stole the heroin. Thanks to Marcus and Mike's `shoot first and ask questions later' tactics, they are about to be yanked off the case and Fouchet will get away with the heroin and the murder of Julie's friend.
Back in 1995, I would've rated this movie at a 10 on a scale of 5. I was also 16. This movie is perfect for the way I used to be. Women, fast cars, money, and all the action a man could ask for. Yes...hormones were in charge of anything and everything I thought about. Now that I'm older (you do the math), I've calmed down a lot more. Yes I still love those same things I was talking about, but now instead of one lower brain thinking, I now have two. Usually the top one has more say-so in what I do now, depending on the amount of alcohol in me. So after seeing this movie for maybe my 10th or 20th time, I would have to say this... I still love it. Michael Bay knows action. Yes it can be extremely over the top, but I don't care. It's an action movie, and I'm here for some crazy stunts. And it delivers. Probably my favorite scene would be the bathroom scene where Marcus is getting a beat down, but delivering it back also. And oh the slow-mo that Bay is known for is littered in here. Sometimes it's great, like when the good guys are coming out of an elevator and they see the bad guys. That was nice. Then you got scenes where it's definitely not needed. For instance, during the heroine heist, they slow-mo a pad lock being cut. Yep. The movie has a lot of action, but it also has a lot of comedy in it as well. The comedic duo of Smith and Lawrence is perfect. Which is good, because I'm not a fan of Martine Lawrence. But in this movie (as well as the sequel), he actually cracks me up. Joe Pantoliano plays Captain Howard and I must say his character is a riot. But aren't they all usually in buddy cop movies? Always screaming and saying some wise crack. I will say though the funny starts to get a little repetitious towards the end and a little tiresome.
Bad Boys is probably one of my favorite Michael Bay films. If you hate the guy though, you'll probably dislike this also. It's full of action, guns, cars, adrenaline pumping music, and some hot women, and a story full of holes. What's not to like?
P.S. - I remember thinking Tea Leoni was the hottest chick in the world when this first came out... lol. Not so much anymore though.
