Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock join up in the action-packed buddy movie BAD COMPANY. When CIA undercover operative Kevin Pope is killed during tense negotiations for a nuclear...
more...weapon, agent Gaylord Oakes (Hopkins) recruits the man's twin brother, Jake Hayes (Rock), to take his place and prevent the bomb from getting into the wrong hands. The problem is that Hayes, a streetwise kid who scalps tickets and hustles people playing chess in the parks, didn't even know he had a twin--and now he has only nine days to learn to impersonate his impeccably dressed, well-educated, well-trained agent brother. Rock is funny in this fish-out-of-water story as Hopkins tries desperately to transform him--something he considers to be an impossible mission.
Joel Schumacher, the director of such well-regarded films as TIGERLAND and FALLING DOWN, ups the action quotient as Oakes and Hayes and their determined crew (including Gabrielle Macht) travel to locations ranging from Prague to New York to save the world. Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, from NYPD Blue, plays Hayes' love interest, and Peter Stormare is the evil Vas. Hopkins and Rock make a great pair; Hayes is as loose as a goose, and Oakes is as tight as a drum. But as they get to know each other--and get thrown into dangerous situation after dangerous situation--they both discover a little something about life and love.

Review of Bad Company DVD by LostWitness

Advantages: Anthony Hopkins is in it
Disadvantages: Chris Rock is in it

...into any such story ideas. Bad Company’s director (Joel Schumacher) has made some good films in his time, including The Lost Boys, Flatliners and The Client. Alas, he has also made a few turkeys too – I’m thinking Batman & Robin – and Bad Company will join their ranks without a shadow of a doubt. Kevin Pope is a highly experienced CIA agency, who is working undercover as a crooked antique dealer in order to obtain a rogue ... Read review

Review of Bad Company DVD by wampyrii

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...or other distinctly average movies. Bad Company, directed by Joel Schumacher, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and starring Chris Rock and Anthony Hopkins, fits into the brainless summer action movie genre and is, at best, a distinctly average example of it. Jerry Bruckheimer will never have the word 'intelligent' applied to any movie he gets involved with, but it has to be said this is one of the dumbest, most lamely scripted, hole-ridden, lack-lustre ...

Get in the car... bitch
Review of Bad Company DVD by DarkMark

Advantages: Local legend Anthony Hopkins
Disadvantages: The cringe worthy storyline

Bad Company pairs odd couple Anthony Hopkins ("Hanibal Lecter" fame) and Chris Rock ("Lethal Weapon 4") and teams big time producer Jerry Bruckheimer ("Bad Boys", "The Rock") and director Joel Schumacher ("Batman & Robin", "A Time To Kill"). The story is about the CIA making a nuclear weapons purchase (better them buying it then a terrorist state). The purchase is organised by CIA Agent Kevin Pope (Chris Rock) but he unfortunately (cough - sarcasm ... Read review

bad bad bad company
Review of Bad Company DVD by kev_macca

Advantages: chris rock is good, the rest nothing short of basic
Disadvantages: some corn, boring and predictable storyline

What makes this film better is that it contains a lot of humour courtesy of Chris rock. If you like Chris rock then you will bare to watch this film for the full 90 minutes. The storyline is pretty basic and dull but there are some twists. The odd explosion and joke just manage to keep your attention on screen which’s speaks for itself. I Am I big chris rock fan but this feel disappointed me a little. To be honest I did not think Anthony Hopkins played ... Read review

Bad company
Review of Bad Company DVD by mattdoble

Advantages: Pretty Funny film
Disadvantages: Typical black meets white comedy

I read the other reviews for this film and have to say i think they were a bit harsh. Sure this film is a little predictable but if your watching it for the comedy rather than the action packed main plot you will enjoy it. It features Antony Hopkins who played hanible lecter and his acting is as good as ever. The story follows the FBI across the globe as they have to recruit Jake haynes to replace his dead twin brother on a mission. However jake is ... Read review
