Bad Boys

In traditional Michael Bay directing style, the gun-toting testosterone-filled action takes precedence over a substantial plot, and in this 1995 film the twisted sense of priorities actually works. When two macho Miami police detectives (Martin Lawrence and Will Smith) are assigned to capture the thief in a multi-million dollar heroin heist, they get caught in some murderous mayhem and swap identities in order to prime the bloodshed's only eyewitness. Blah, blah, blah. The high-speed car chases, the budget-breaking explosions and Smith's scene-stealing sex appeal make up for the stale switcheroo humor and convoluted premise.
