Bad Boys
Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) is a happily married family man. Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) is a smooth-talking, freewheeling bachelor. Both are cops in the narcotics division of the Miami police department. When $100 million dollars worth of seized heroin is stolen from their police station, the mismatched duo are forced to switch identities to placate the only witness (Tea Leoni) who can lead them to the drug lord responsible and save their jobs before the FBI closes them down. This explosion-heavy, chase-filled, gun-smoking action comedy is directed by Michael Bay (ARMAGEDDON, PEARL HARBOR) and showcases comedic odd-couple-style bantering between the aptly paired Smith and Lawrence.

Remember Club Hell ?
The heist of the decade has been pulled off on the Narcotics Branch of the Miami PD. Internal Affairs knows there was an inside informer and that's how 180 million dollars of Heroin was stolen. Put on the case are Detectives Mike Lowery and Marcus Burdett. While they work on the case a woman and her friend witness a murder. The woman, Julie, escapes but her friend Max is murdered before her very eyes.
Bad Boys is a piece of genius. Michael Bay's usual flair for action-packed movies with tons of shooting, slow-mo, and explosions keeps the adrenaline pumping with his first film. Will Smith gives his usual charming tough guy performance while Martin Lawerence does great doing drama instead of comedy. Tea Leoni does incredibly well as the vengeful yet funny Julie and Leoni really gives an incredible performance.
Besides a lot of swearing and action, Bad Boys is quite a good film and felt quite satisfied after watching it.

Fox was a bikini-clad dancing extra in Bad Boys II
- 12 Jun 2009
Transformers wasn't sexy Megan Fox's first experience of working with movie mogul Michael Bay - she was an extra in his Bad Boys sequel. The actress was just 15 when she landed a role as a "club kid" in the Will Smith film, and had a great time dancing under a waterfall in a skimpy stars-and-stripes bikini and cowboy hat. She tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "I was still in ninth grade. I liked it at the time, because I was getting out of school. "I got paid extra because if you allow them Read more
