The drug ecstasy is flowing into Miami, and the police want it stopped. Police Detective Marcus Burnett and his partner, Mike Lowrey, are just the men to do it. They track the drugs to a Cuban smuggler, Johnny Tapia, who is also involved in a bloody war with Russian and Haitian mobsters. If that isn't bad enough, there's tension between the two cops because Lowrey is romantically involved with Burnett's sister, Syd.

Critics Consensus

Two and a half hours of explosions and witless banter.

An unpleasant, mean movie all the way.

Like our two loose cannons with badges, the movie misses its target at least as often as it hits it. Along the way, as well, it will likely batter a few brain cells into a premature grave.

The producer Jerry Bruckheimer and the director Michael Bay's buddy-cop destructorama has all the editing beats of a sex film.

3/5

With a bigger budget, (Michael) Bay goes all out in the action sequences. His camerawork may have been more frenetic compared to his 1995 debut but he still directs them with enough propulsive energy to keep you engaged.

“Bad Boys II” is brash, tawdry, and completely full of itself. It makes for a noticeable step down from a movie that wasn’t all that great to begin with

It's not a Good Movie and it's not a Bad Movie and it's not a Good Bad Movie and it's not a Bad Good Movie. It's a Highlight-Reel Movie.

Badass, unapologetic comedy - action chaos! Explosions, gun-fights, car chases and busting drug lords is iconic, funny and everything an action movie should be. "Who the hell is Reggie?"

Bad Boys II, one of my favorite movies of all time. And, I enjoy it. The action sequences are so good and entertaining. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are a great duo. This is easily Michael Bay’s best movie alongside Transformers: Dark Of The Moon and The Rock. But, overall, I give Bad Boys II a 10/10 or a 5/5 stars.

Awesome buddy cop action movie. Classic Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Great mix of action, drama and comedy. Just as good, if not better than the original. Highly recommended. Update: defintely better than the first. Awesome movie.
