The drug ecstasy is flowing into Miami, and the police want it stopped. Police Detective Marcus Burnett and his partner, Mike Lowrey, are just the men to do it. They track the drugs to a Cuban smuggler, 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 cops because Lowrey is romantically involved with Burnett's sister, Syd.

Critics Consensus

Two and a half hours of explosions and witless banter.

An unpleasant, mean movie all the way.

Wall Street Journal

Like our two loose cannons with badges, the movie misses its target at least as often as it hits it. Along the way, as well, it will likely batter a few brain cells into a premature grave.

The New Yorker

The producer Jerry Bruckheimer and the director Michael Bay's buddy-cop destructorama has all the editing beats of a sex film.

Casey's Movie Mania

With a bigger budget, (Michael) Bay goes all out in the action sequences. His camerawork may have been more frenetic compared to his 1995 debut but he still directs them with enough propulsive energy to keep you engaged.

Rated: 3/5

Keith & the Movies

“Bad Boys II” is brash, tawdry, and completely full of itself. It makes for a noticeable step down from a movie that wasn’t all that great to begin with

Rated: 1.5/5

I don’t know what the critics are talking about, it’s a great buddy cop movie with humour and action in the right places. An improvement on the initial film in various ways, however some things seem like they didn’t need to be in it. Otherwise entertaining, and expands on the character design from the previous film.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Funny as hell and the action was top notch, better than the last one. The climax at the end was perfect: high stakes car chase with explosions everywhere.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
