Bad Boys II: A Quick Review

Despite the terribleness of the latest Transformers movies, I don't have a thing against Michael Bay. He is a solid director who knows how to entertain and how to make solid action sequences. "Bad Boys II" is a superb action film, unlike "Bad Boys" which just isn't very good. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence play two wise-cracking no-nonsense narcotics detectives, who would rather shoot first and then shoot second as well. They are following the trail of a cuban drug lord who is plaguing Miami with an influx of ecstasy. Obviously, Will Smith dominates this feature, being the more badass of the two main characters. Martin Lawrence isn't as much of a bad ass but the constant quips between the two and hilarious dialogue make this movie a must see. The movie has some pretty cheesy parts and plot holes begin to show up by the end, but the set pieces are huge, the actors know what they're doing and they're prepared to take you along for the ride.
