About
You’ll likely enjoy Bad Boys if you want a 90s buddy-cop action comedy with nonstop energy and sharp chemistry; Not for you if you prefer original, tightly written crime plots like Beverly Hills Cop II or Running Scared, or if you dislike frequent violence and profanity.
Pros: strong buddy chemistry; funny role reversal; big 90s thrills | Cons: thin/dated plot; sometimes bland action; heavy violence/profanity
