Stars
Martin Lawrence and
Will Smith return along with director
Michael Bay and producer
Jerry Bruckheimer for this sequel to the 1995 sleeper hit
Bad Boys, the film that sparked the careers of both actors, as well as
Bay. Once again,
Lawrence and
Smith play hotshot, wisecracking Miami narcotics officers
Marcus Burnett and
Mike Lowrey. This time around,
Burnett and
Lowrey have been assigned to head up a task force to investigate the illegal trafficking of ecstasy into the city. They discover that an underground gang war has been instigated by drug kingpin
Johnny Tapia (
Jordi Molla). In order to cut off the flow of the designer drug, they have to take down
Tapia. Unfortunately, there's a wrench thrown into the gears in the form of
Burnett's sister
Syd, whom
Lowrey takes a liking to and begins a relationship with. Tensions rise between the partners, threatening both their friendship and the investigation and putting
Syd in harm's way. Also returning from the first film are
Joe Pantoliano as
Captain Howard,
Theresa Randle as
Burnett's wife
Theresa, and former-NBA star
John Salley as
'Hacker' Fletcher. Among the supporting players new to this entry in the series are
Peter Stormare and musician, spoken-word artist, and sometimes-actor
Henry Rollins. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
