Bad Boys 2

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back – and oh so bad – on the streets of Miami in Bad Boys II, reuniting them with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay.

Narcotics detectives Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) have been assigned to a high-tech task force investigating the flow of designer ecstasy into Miami. Their inquiries inadvertently lead them to a major conspiracy involving a vicious kingpin (Jordi Molla), whose ambitions to take over the city's drug trade have ignited a bloody turf war.

But Mike and Marcus' friendship and working relationship is threatened when Mike begins to develop feelings for Marcus' sister Syd (Gabrielle Union). Unless they can separate the personal from the professional, the bad boys are in danger of blowing the case and endangering Syd's life in the process.

Critic Reviews:

• " I love Will Smith. And this is the first film this summer to pass the Joel Siegel sequel test. " – Joel Siegel

• " By the last-reel showdown in Cuba, your senses have been carpet-bombed past repair, and the overlength of the thing leaves you moaning for mercy. " – Tim Robey

• " What carries the film is the comedic pairing of stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, who actually improve on their contentious oddball chemistry. " – Tom Meek
