When I was younger I thought that I would enjoy Field of Dreams (Robinson‚ Kinsella‚ 1989) because it was a baseball movie. I remember watching it and not liking it because baseball was secondary to the actual plot.

The peak of the movie is reached when there is a major shoot out in Cuba. Compared to the first Bad Boys movie this one for me definitely leaves its predecessor in the shadows after a long waited eight years.
