User Review
Excellent movie
Rating: 10/10
I am sure many people who rated this poorly would rate "Bad Boys" a
phenomenal work of art. This movie, if watched with more than just an
eye for special effects, tells the story of people finding themselves
and becoming a family of sorts. The world in which we live has far too
little depth of character. Yes the movie was condensed in a few parts
but unless you intended it to be a 3 month long movie some parts had to
"wind up on the cutting floor" as one poor soul commented. People just
watch movies nowadays rather than "live" them, understand them, try to
find out what the message was. This movie showed soul, it moves me
every time I watch it.
