It stars Mick Molloy, Bob Franklin and Judith Lucy, with Alan Brough, Bill Hunter, Marshall Napier, Nicholas Bell, Steven Vidler, Shaun Micallef, Robyn Nevin, Brett Swain, Denis Moore and Pete Smith having supporting roles.

Through Julie Bale (Lucy), a former police officer and Kinnear's ex, they uncover a conspiracy involving the Zero Tolerance Unit and extending all the way to the Premier of Victoria (Micallef).

Disgraced, the two detectives, Ben Kinnear and his best mate Mike Paddock, both members of the much-hyped Zero Tolerance Unit (ZTU), are demoted back to uniform duties.

Things become more complicated when Julie Bale, a journalist and a former police officer and one time partner of Kinnear's, is arrested on a charge of blackmailing the Magistrate.

Amy Gough, writing in the Echo News, praised the film, stating "Bad Eggs is a romp with enough plot and intrigue to keep you guessing if not laughing heartily.

[3] Scott Hamilton, for Pop-Planet, also liked the film, writing "It is very entertaining to watch Mick Molloy, Bob Franklin and Judith Lucy, who obviously have a well-rehearsed rapport with each other, work off each other".

"[4] Sandra Hall, writing in the Sydney Morning Herald, wrote that Martin "started with a list of set-pieces and tailored the script to suit.

[5] David Stratton, writing in Variety, gave a lukewarm response to the film, saying "Bad Eggs is a crime-comedy with more crime than comedy.

At its best, it's pretty funny... however there's no escaping the fact that the plot... isn't exactly original and the inclusion of scenes familiar from other movies... only adds to a feeling of deja-vu".
