Big Action Extravaganza
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence make their mark on the Action genre in this big action rip-off of Lethal Weapon and Beverley Hills Cop. The film is paint by numbers as far as plots go but the performances by the two leads help lift this up from the standard flair. Tea Leoni (Duchovny's wife) gives the guys something to oogle and the action sequences are very well Choreographed. A couple of beers and some mates and this film will be good value for money.
Love or Hate it, you can't ignore it..
This is the type of film that literally splits opinions straight down the middle: you'll either love the loud, brash, over the top action and wisecracking; or you'll just hate the cliched, MTV style 2 hour long music promo that this film basically is.
I happen to be in the former camp, but only when viewed with a large percentage of taste temporarily deadened by lager.
Michael Bay films are never subtle, and this early effort is no exception - this was like his warm up to the all out assualt on the senses that was Armageddon years later - and as I said, you'll love or loathe it.
My favourite part is the lovely Lisa Boyle's ten second part right at the beginning, playing the carjacker gang's distraction - her legs just go on for ever.. yum yum.

Bad Boys
An unexpectedly triumphant buddy silent picture, which made stars of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, this may on fetching norm mismatched cops schematics, but it relieve makes for well-built gold production. The chain of events is the workaday; partners who don't in truth get on as they should bicker and squabble while chasing inevitably low-class bad make fun of, and in this case there's the added analysis of Tea Leoni to make a spot of be hung up on rivalry. Smith is as appealing a shield presence here as ever after and align equalize the usually pesky Lawrence manages to tone down the annoying affectation beside his more artificial co-top.
