Bad Boys [MA]

Mike and Marcus are two cops heating up the streets of Miami, proving that bad boys finish first. When a huge stash of drugs is stolen from Miami PD headquarters, Mike and Marcus are put on the case to recover them. But what started as a simple case of recovering stolen drugs soon turns into an action-packed train wreck of murder, gunplay, and more explosions that one can count. 

A former work colleague and frequent customer of mine has been on my back and harassing me non-stop: “rent Bad Boys!” “Have you seen Bad Boys yet?” You know what you should review… Bad Boys!” Over and over and over again. Well J. IT’S HAPPENED! I HAVE SEEN BAD BOYS! 

Mike and Marcus are two cops burning up the streets of Miami and taking nobody’s shit. When a break-in happens at Miami PD headquarters and a large stash of drugs is stolen, the boys are immediately put on the case to recover them. But with no leads and no real starting point, the boys find themselves at a disadvantage. When a contact of Mike’s gets roped into the investigation, the plot thickens as she and a former cop are murdered. With only one stubborn witness on their side, the boys are running against the clock and what started out as a simple matter of recovering stolen drugs, soon turns into a giant train wreck and the shittiest week of their lives. 

Bad Boys is a real action movie, that’s the first thing that needs to be said. It’s filled with gunplay, fire, explosions, profanities, and car chases. Totally awesome if you’re into that kind of thing. I don’t mind the occasional bit of action, so I did enjoy Bad Boys. 

Will Smith plays the smooth charmer Mike. I have a real soft spot for Will Smith I have to admit. In anything he does, I just love him. In Bad Boys, Will was smooth, violent, aggressive, and constantly screaming and arguing with his partner. Very entertaining. Rock on Will! 

Martin Lawrence plays Marcus, the one who is married and being denied his “quality time.” As much as I love Will, Martin had the spotlight in this flick. He does everything from arguing with his partner, to shooting randomly at moving targets, to pretending to be someone he’s not, all the while trying to not to get on anyone’s bad side. He was defensive, violent, tightly wound, and quite funny to watch. 

Tea Leoni is the “damsel in distress” and I have to say that I found her just gorgeous. She was smoking in this movie! With a suspicious and sometimes cynical attitude towards the boys, she provided the movie with extra heat. 

Packed to bursting with car chases, gun fights, violence, explosions, blood shed, shootings, and a couple of slow motion running sequences, Bad Boys was a real action movie that any hothead can get a kick out of.
