Bad Boys, one on my favourite movies of all time.

Outline
This is a film about two Miami cops, Mike Lowry (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence). They are members of the drugs squad for Miami Police Department. Mike (Will Smith) is a single, rich boy who always gets the ladies and thinks ... ...is funny cool, cockey and pretty much invincible. Marcus (Martin Lawrence) is a family man with a wife and kids, and does the job to earn a wage to keep his family, he brings a sense of responsibility to the partnership. That said he is still funny, cockey and doesn't take any messing when it comes to taking out criminals. It is a very strange partnership but I think it works very well.

Advantages: Will Smith, Humour, Setting, Car Chase, Soundtrack Disadvantages: Awful Bad Guys, Predictable Plot
...barely gotten off the mark; Bad Boys, however, united Will Smith (in his breakout performance) and Martin Lawrence as the two mismatched cops, in amidst of the team's soon-to-be-trademark explosion; the film became an instant hit.
If you've already seen the much more over the top (and far superior) sequel then you'll think the action in Bad Boys is much paler in comparison. Granted, the film had much lesser budget at the time, and relies on much ... ...the less said about the bad guys the better- they suck... would you be scared of a soft spoken Frenchman? Well, I wasn't anyway.
Plot wise, Detectives Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) have to protect a murder witness (Tea Leoni), and find the big bad foreigner responsible- oh and he also happens to be the one that robbed the Police Station's $100 million worth of heroin. The bastard. To make things even harder, somewhere in the ...

Advantages: great action, one liners and acting Disadvantages: none (honest)
I have to say I love this movie. From start to finish I do not find any parts boring or mediocre. The relationship between Smith and Lawrence is great, you almost believe that they have not been scripted during some of their little tiffs! It really is a pleasure to watch! Basically Smith and Lawrence are Detectives in Miami, and are polar opposites to each other. Smith is a rich player while Lawrence is a family man. There is a small case of mistaken ... ...in front of a witness (Tea Leoni). This brings much of the comedy value to the movie. Im not sure if this was intended to be a comedy, there is certainly enough great action sequences to indicate that this was not an essential part, but as the chemistry is so great between the two leads, it is difficult not to laugh at the situations the get themselves into. The action scenes and effects are stunning, espescially given the fact that this was released ...

Advantages: Plenty of action and loads of witty one liners Disadvantages: Can't think of any
...fights and big explosions and Bad Boys has them in abundance. Add to this the comedy styling of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence and you know you're on to a winner.
The film starts with a criminal gang breaking into the Miami Police headquarters and stealing a stash of seized drugs, this is where Will Smith and Martin Lawrence come in as two narcotics cops whose job it is to get the drugs back. Smith plays a smooth talking playboy type with sack loads ... ...the usual problems associated with family life.
They have 72 hours to retrieve the stolen drugs and it isn't going to be easy. they come across dead bodies, hookers and Jo Jo the tyre guy on the way to the final showdown, oh yeah and somewhere in the middle they have to switch roles and become each other to secure a key witness in the case which in it's own right brings another mountain of problems.
The Collector's DVD has the usual extra features ...
