Marking one hell of a kick-start to the film career of Will Smith, and a tremendous debut effort from the stylish, now over-the-top Director Michael Bay, it is a classic 90s action-comedy, taking a tried-and-tested buddy-buddy cop formula and throwing plenty of explosions, shootouts and car chases into the mix. Of course, the movie really stands out because of the excellent chemistry between Smith and his partner-in-crime Martin Lawrence, and it is really that facet that has won it its title as a classic. Through them, Bad Boys shifts from B-movie to A-grade, with enough style and enough insanely quotable dialogue to deserve a place in any action-movie-lovers collection. Finally on Blu-ray, Bay’s glossy, heavily stylised imagery comes across remarkably well on the video front, even if its low budget and age does still show through, and the movie is noisy as hell, even if the audio track is not particularly nuanced, and is a bit lacking when it comes to bass. On the extras front, this one also does not quite include everything from the last SD-DVD release, but given the advantages of the High Def video, it still probably warrants an upgrade. Whatcha gonna do?
