Fans of a pre-_Terminator_ Bay are gonna love it, and I can see where it succeeds, but personally _Bad Boys_ makes me kinda uncomfortable.

_Final rating:★★½ - Not quite for me, but I definitely get the appeal._...

IDK, I really was never a big Bay fan, but I always sort of liked Will Smith, and Lawrence I only really knew from Def Comedy Jam so I was sort of 50/50 going in...

Is this supposed to be an African American male version of “Cagney and Lacey”? I seem to recall that one of them was a trust-fund cop teamed up with the working class family one. Here, Will Smith is the suave and confident “Mike” who works with “Marcus” (Martin Lawrence) for the narcotics department. After an audacious raid on the police station relieves it’s evidence room of millions of dollars worth of heroin, it falls to this intrepid pair to to find out just who pinched it. How hard can it be? That’s a massive amount of drugs so only a few can deal with it. Well their contacts quickly provide them with a smoking gun, but not until it’s started piling up the bodies and meant that “Julie” (Téa Leoni) has to be put into witness protection. To further complicate thin...
