About Bad Boys II

Detectives Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey of the Miami Narcotics Task Force are tasked with stopping the flow of the drug Ecstasy into Miami. They track the drugs to the whacked-out Cuban drug lord 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 detectives when Marcus discovers that playboy Mike is secretly romancing Marcus’ sister, Syd.

Our take on Bad Boys II

Michael Bay reunites Miami narcotics detectives Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey to stem the flow of Ecstasy into the city, a trail leading to volatile Cuban drug lord Johnny Tapia and his bloody feud with Russian and Haitian mobsters. Complicating matters, Marcus discovers that his playboy partner Mike is secretly seeing his sister Syd. Expect Bay's signature overload: relentless action, glossy chaos, crude comedy and buddy-cop bickering cranked to full volume. It's loud, long and unapologetically excessive, best suited to viewers who want spectacle and banter over restraint or nuance. Fans of high-octane crime capers will feel at home; anyone seeking subtlety should look elsewhere entirely.
