OK, I honestly do not understand the 5.6 cumulative rating for this movie! I almost didn't watch it because of how low it was rated, but I have to be honest, I LOVED it! It is for this reason that I am writing this inaugural review. The comedic moments are hilarious, the action is awesome, and the writing, acting, directing, and soundtrack are phenomenal. All-in-all, I'd honestly rate this up with RED and RED 2. If you want to see a good action movie with a comedic twist, this is the film to see! Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock take up a complicated dance with many missteps and surprises along the way. 8/10 for me. Screw the other lousy reviews, take my word for it!

The first thing to know about "Bad Company" is that the producer is Jerry Bruckheimer (who produced a couple of Michael Bay's explosion-laden movies) and the director is Joel Schumacher (who brought the Batman franchise to its nadir in the late 1990s). That, plus the casting of Chris Rock in his usual sort of role, tells you pretty much everything that there is to know about this movie. I will say that I liked the interactions between Chris Rock's and Anthony Hopkins's characters, and also when Rock BSes the villain.Basically, it's not any sort of movie to take seriously. Just nice, brainless fun. Assuming that you tolerate brain candy.

Not sure who coerced Anthony Hopkins to enter into such a bland, standard, project, but luckily for all of the rest involved with "Bad Company", he single-handedly keeps the movie from going under. What is supposed to be a bunch of laughs draws a few chuckles at best. The story stretches plausibility beyond razor thin, as if something so bumbling could happen with nuclear weapons. On top of such a poor conception of plot and story, the general music for this movie has been conjured inside take your pick: out of an elevator or supermarket playlist. Chris Rock was miscast here and should not be involved with anything less serious than comedy. Yeah, he knows how to throw out 1-liners, but this movie is "trying" to pass as an action movie. OK as a free library rental thanks to Hopkins.

Joel Schumacher's 'Bad Company' is a routine action film, that also has a sense of humor, though not very humorous, and a wanna be 'Pacey' background score. It ain't no bad film, but, it ain't no good film either.When a mission to retrieve a stolen suitcase bomb goes bad, CIA agent Kevin Pope played by Chris Rock is killed. Pope was working undercover as an arm dealer under the name Michael Turner. The CIA, who is desperate to complete the mission discovers that Agent Pope had a twin brother, Jake Hayes, also played by Chris Rock. The CIA assign the twin brother in and thus try to complete their mission.To give it's due, it has it's share of interesting moments. But, they are far and between. One is majorly disappointed by the climax, is doesn't have the thrills or the impact, you'd expect.Joel Schumacher has directed the film ably. Production values, as expected from Jerry Bruckheimer, are full-filling. Dariusz Wolski's Cinematography is okay. Acting wise: Sir Anthony Hopkins is just right. Chris Rock is loud. The actor is ought to keep a check on his expressions and his voice. Peter Stormare is wasted. Garcelle Beauvais looks alluring.On the whole, 'Bad Company' is strictly an average fare.
