The boys are back and badder than ever. Martin Lawrence and Will Smith reunite with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay for another exhilarating and high-intensity action adventure in Bad Boys II. The danger quotient is heightened and so are the laughs in this new installment as Miami narcotics detectives Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) become part of a high-tech task force assigned to stem the flood of designer ecstasy into Miami. They unwittingly uncover a deadly conspiracy involving a ruthless drug lord, played by Jordi Mollà, who is determined to expand his empire and take control of the city's burgeoning narcotics trade, killing anyone who stands in his way. To make matters worse, Marcus' beautiful sister Syd (Gabrielle Union), an undercover DEA agent, gets caught in the crossfire, forcing our heroes to the edge of the law. The assignment takes on further complications when romantic sparks start to fly between Mike and Syd, driving her overly protective brother completely around the bend. But Marcus and Mike must overcome their differences to bring down Tapia. And when Syd's cover is jeopardized, it's up to the Bad Boys to rescue her.

The movie is one big raging pile of macho steam-blowing. Maybe the participants got something out of their systems, but the result just feels like hot air.

Jerry Bruckheimer nous offre une fois de plus du cinéma fast-food très vide et irresponsable.

Just when you think Hollywood movies can’t get any worse, Bruckheimer and Bay outdo themselves for another exercise in pulverizing macho brutality

... This bloated, bloody film has none of the charm of its predecessor.

It's quite possible I have never before seen a film that held so much contempt for everyone and everything -- for its audience, for its characters, even for the medium itself.

The Bad Boys movies are supposed to be about two cops, but all I see is a pair of actors reading descriptions of their characters.

Full of misfiring humour, inappropriately sadistic violence, and paddle-pool shallowness.

An unapologetic, unreconstructed actioner that's as entertaining as it is politically retrograde.
