Summary

Two mismatched Miami narcotics detectives, smooth ladies' man Mike Lowrey and family-man Marcus Burnett, must recover a massive cache of heroin stolen from police evidence before Internal Affairs shuts down their division. Complicating matters, the only witness to a related murder will only speak to Mike, forcing Marcus to impersonate his partner while they hunt the killers.

Released in 1995, Bad Boys is an action, comedy and crime film. Its comedy subtype is Action Comedy.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 4,081 1990s films, not against the whole corpus. 286 IMDb reviewers are calibrated for this title, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 292 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 464 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
