Bad Boys is the usual mid-90's action movie with charm, humor and a lot of pace. While the Will Smith and Martin Lawrence leading partner duo is important, it's easily more important to mention this was Michael Bay's first feature film as director. Later doing The Rock, the sequel to this, the Transformers trilogy and Armageddon to mention a few blockbusters, his name is well acquainted with the CGI-action genre.
Going back to our leads, Smith and Lawrence's partnership was the major reason this movie stands out from the other action movies made in the same mold at the time following the late 80's success of Die Hard. Their banter made the fill-in scenes easier to get past, awaiting the action, and one being married and the other a typical single guy also helped.
This movie is an entertaining ride even 15 years later, but back then it was truly remarkable.
