Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) is a smooth-talking 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 features comedic odd-couple-style bantering between the aptly paired Smith and Lawrence.

Reviews for Bad Boys
Given how much good Bad Boys is going to do for Martin Lawrence's feature career, it's a pity the film couldn't do any more for itself.
Even by the low-low standards of cheap action flicks, this one's bad, boys.
Bad Boys takes the often-traveled road, and leads the audience to a dead end.
A good half-hour's worth of nonsense in the middle keeps Bad Boys from being little better than a break- even proposition.
Bad Boys is relentless formulaic fodder for the explosion-starved; it's loud, shallow, sexist and a complete waste of time.
This movie is so good-looking it deserves a decent screenplay, instead of one more lope down memory lane.
