So the question "Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?" is never actually answered by this movie. And despite the title, it has nothing to do with the show "Cops," but it is about cops. This buddy cop action comedy launched Will Smith into the stratosphere, but didn't really do the same for Martin Lawrence. Even by the standards of dumb action movies, this is pretty dumb. The writing is just cliches strung together, the plot is an excuse for gun fights and explosions, the acting mediocre. Are they bad meaning good? Or are they bad actors? Or is this a movie for boys with bad taste? It is the first movie for director. Michael Bay, who is critically reviled, but enormously successful for catering to the lowest common denominator. "The Rock" is the only of his movies I can stand. You probably have to see "Bad Boys II" to really understand the whole story.
