Historically, "people" was used for a large group of people, such as citizens of a country, whereas "persons" was used for individual people. However, over time, "people" has become much more widely used in referring to any number of persons.
I think most people nowadays would write: The two men are not good people.
Persons is still an acceptable choice, but some people will find it odd.
One idiom that still typically uses persons is "persons of interest" in a criminal investigation.
