Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in---Bad Boys II


Detective Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Detective Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are Narcotics cops in Miami. They work closely together as partners in their jobs and are good friends after work. 

Their motto is we ride together---we die together—meaning they will do whatever it takes to get the job done.

They are in charge of the task force scrutinizing the flow of Ecstasy being trafficked into Miami, which comes in astronomical amounts into the United States by covert means.
Mike and Marcus as part of the TNT (Miami PD's Tactical Narcotics Team) assigned by Captain Howard (Joe Pantoliano) their boss to stop the inundation of Ecstasy on our shores.  

And, the worst part of their assignment would be to track down a very dangerous criminal named Hector Juan Carlos “Johnny” Tapia (Jordi Molla) who is a Cuban drug lord with the ambition of controlling the entire ecstasy business in the United States.
The once very close relationship that Mike and Marcus claimed is now a little shaky, because they each are keeping a secret from the other. 

Mike secret is one that involves deep feeling that he has for Sydney “Syd” Burnett (Gabrielle Union) is Marcus’ sister. 

Now, we know why it is a secret. Syd has her own secret besides in the romance department---she is working undercover for the DEA, and is in deep cover with the notorious Johnny Tapia.
Marcus’ secret is he wants to spend more time with his family and a lot less time with Mike. And, this is the reason he put in for a transfer without talking to his partner Mike about it. Marcus is a little jealous of Mike’s popularity with everyone, especially women.

So personal feelings put aside as Mike and Marcus roared through Miami on the trail of Johnny Tapia. Will Miami survive the two of them as they race through the heavy traffic as they miraculously avoid death in hot pursuit of the criminals?
It is bad enough when Marcus finds out his sister is working undercover for the DEA, and even worse when Johnny Tapia kidnapped her. 

Mike and Marcus put their pettiest aside to save Syd and maybe in the end it will save their once very close relationship on the job and off.
I am happy that Bad Boys 3 will be in theaters July 4, 2015. I love these action movies. And it always helps that Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are two of my favorite actors.
