Bad Boys 2 [2003]
Bad Boys II fulfils every audience expectation and then some: no-one goes to a movie
... more
directed by Michael Bay for delicacy and grace; you go because Bay (Armageddon, The Rock) knows how to make your bones rattle during a high-speed chase when a car flips over, spins through the air and smacks another car with a visceral crunch. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence may be mere puppets amid all this burning rubber and shrieking metal, but they actually provide a human core to the endless cascade of car wrecks and gunfights. Their easy rapport makes their personal problems--a running joke is Lawrence's attempts at anger management--as engaging as the sheer visual hullabaloo of bullets and explosions. The plot is recycled nonsense about drug lords and dead bodies being used to smuggle drugs, but the orchestration of violence is symphonic. If that's your thing, then this is for you. --Bret Fetzer

Bad Boys / Bad Boys 2 Review ofBad Boys / Bad Boys 2 (Box Set) (Wide Screen)by

Advantages: Entertaining, full of action and funny Disadvantages: There isn't a Bad Boys 3
...strenght to strength. Bad Boys is the beginning of the relationship where you understand there differences, highly entertaining, full action and twists.
Learning of their relationship differences, very similar to the film Leathal Weapon with a slightly darker side, dealing with drug dealers, and the crime enfolds to a dramatic twist. The brotherly love/jealous/hate relationships delevops and moves further to the next level when the 2nd film begins.
... ...faced with family situations; should a best friend date your sister and how would you deal with your daughters boyfriend, when you meet for the first time. With an excellent performance by Will Smith in a comical sense and the backing by Martin Lawrence to compliment the relationship. Watch and be very amused on how the relationships enfold and how they deal with their different lifestyles. ...

DVD Description
A boom 'n' bang boxset of BAD BOYS 1 and 2: BAD BOYS: Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) is a happily married family man. Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) is a smooth-talking, freewheeling bachelor. Both are cops in the narcotics division of the Miami police department. When $100 million dollars worth of seized heroin is stolen from their police station, the mismatched duo are forced to switch identities to placate the only witness (Tea Leoni) who can lead them to the drug lord responsible and save their jobs before the FBI closes them down. This explosion-heavy, chase-filled, gun-smoking action comedy is directed by Michael Bay (ARMAGEDDON, PEARL HARBOR) and showcases comedic odd-couple-style bantering between the aptly paired Smith and Lawrence. BAD BOYS 2: Burnett and Lowrey return as partners on the Miami Tactical Narcotics Team in director Michael Bay's sequel to BAD BOYS. Car chases and shoot outs are daily occurences as the two try to track down a big time Ecstasy dealer. The trail leads to Johnny Tapia (Jordi Molla) a Cuban immigrant who runs the biggest drug cartel on the East Coast. The stakes are raised when Marcus discovers that his sister, Syd (Gabrielle Union), an agent for the Drug Enforcement Agency, is working undercover trying to bust Tapia as well. And to further complicate matters, Syd and Mike have become involved romantically and are keeping it a secret from Marcus. Jam-packed with massive explosions, wild chase scenes, and flying bullets, this wild ride is filled with action and violence. Smith is charming as the quick-tempered, fast-talking Mike, and Lawrence is his ideal counterpart as the stressed-out Marcus, who resorts to therapy tricks to keep calm. Joe Pantoliano reprises his role as Captain Howard, who is livid about the trail of wrecked cars and damage his boys leave behind them.
