Advantages: Great plot, fantastic acting, well directed.

Disadvantages: A little predictable at times.

Bad Boys was released in 1995 and was directed by Michael Bay with it's main stars being Martin Lawrence & Will Smith who also work together in Bad Boys 2 which was a follow on to this film released in 2003.

The plot of the film follows Lawrence & Smith who play Marcus Burnett & Mike Lowrey who are detectives working in the Miami Police Department and as such they get put on a case to attempt to bust a gang who have stolen $100,000,000 of seized heroin and the detectives establish that one of them is an ex-cop who has some inside information and they have to work to get the only witness to an ensuring crime to testify but first she must be rescued after being found & kidnapped.

I think that the pairing of Lawrence & Smith works very well together and they both have a comic element to them that lifts the film and makes it a must-see movie for any fans of action & adventure films. The storyline runs well throughout and there are no holes in the plot for me to pick at because I can be quite fussy about films and things being realistic or well acted and I did find this to be the case with this film throughout.

I would recommend this film to any fans of the action & adventure genre as there is lots to keep everyone entertained as well as a few smaller stories running in the background to keep people occupied and thoughtful throughout the film. Some aspects may have been slightly predictable but I often find this with this type of film. I was kept occupied throughout and thoroughly enjoyed this film, as I have each time I have watched it.

The DVD is available from amazon.co.uk for £3.98 or as part of a set with Bad Boys 2 for just £4.98 and this is what I would recommend as it's best value for money and both films work very well together. There may be extras on the DVD but I don't watch these so would not be able to comment. The running time is 114 minutes.

I am rating this film 4/5 as I thoroughly enjoyed it and think that it was well acted if a little predictable at times.

Summary: A fantastic film with a great cast and a good storyline throughout.
