No one goes to a movie directed by Michael Bay for delicacy and grace; you go because Michael Bay (Armageddon, The Rock) knows how to make your bones rattle during a high-speed chase when a car flips over, spins through the air, and smacks another car with a visceral crunch. Bad Boys II fulfills this expectation and then some. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence may be mere puppets amid all this burning rubber and shrieking metal, but they actually provide a human core to the endless cascade of car wrecks and gunfights. Their easy rapport makes their personal problems--a running joke is Lawrence's attempts at anger management--as engaging as the sheer visual hullabaloo of bullets and explosions. The plot is recycled nonsense about drug lords and dead bodies being used to smuggle drugs, but orchestration of violence is symphonic. If that's your thing, then this is for you. --Bret Fetzer

DVD features
It's appropriate for a Michael Bay-Jerry Bruckheimer film that the Bad Boys II DVD is a visual and aural spectacle. The picture is bright and vivid, and the soundtrack explosive and muscular (even without a DTS option--maybe there'll be a Superbit later). There's no Bay commentary track as he did for the original film, but he does appear in the disc 2 featurettes on stunts and visual effects describing the use of real props (check out the "car flipper" apparatus), CGI, and camera positioning ("The theory of this car chase is to put cameras where cameramen would be killed doing these shots.").

Also filling out disc 2 are the in-depth scene deconstructions, which take six key scenes and allow you to view the sequence as it appeared in the film (a convenient touch), watch on-set footage, see the storyboards, and read the script (yes, there was a script). The 19 "production diaries" may sound like text notes, but they offer even more on-set footage and factoids. The seven deleted scenes are all pretty short and none aren't watchable, but it's hard to imagine needing to add any extra time to this 147-minute film. --David Horiuchi

From The New Yorker
Action porn. The producer Jerry Bruckheimer and the director Michael Bay's buddy-cop destructorama has all the editing beats of a sex film. A few lines of dialogue (delivered, for the most part, with fake enthusiasm by Will Smith and Martin Lawrence) followed by bursting gunfire, theatrical chases, and the inevitable big-bang ending. -Bruce Diones
