Bad Boys has everything in a buddy-cop movie - the duelling comedy between the two main characters, the angry as hell boss, the pretty lady, the crazy foreign bad guy, blah blah blah, but this film just makes it all work together perfectly. Smith and Lawrence are one of the best and funniest double acts I have ever seen on screen, and that alone is reason enough to give this a watch. Joe Pantoliano is often hilarious as their boss too.
Although more of an action comedy than a serious crime thriller, Michael Bay keeps it serious enough throughout so that the viewer, whilst laughing his ass off, will still pay close attention to what is going on, and actually care what happens, something most action comedies fail to pull off.
Bad Boys can also proudly boast of having on of the best finales ever in a movie of its kind, with an explosive shootout in an aircraft hanger. Its easy to see where the budget went here, and it is used to great effect.
With never a dull moment and plenty of top notch humour and violence, i give Bad Boys a very solid 8 out of 10.
