When an Ivy League-educated C.I.A. Agent is killed during an operation, the secret agency recruits his twin brother. Bad Company is a Joel Schumacher film for sure plus no offense but as much as i did enjoy Rock's perfomance in Lethal Weapon 4 he is no main star kind of material and especially for an action film part of a role. Hopkins is a pretty great actor one of the best really but the script doesn't give him much to do and he is just there for the benefit of the doubt. Bad Company is a forgettable action film that is neither fun or cheesy enough to be fun. (4/10)

Bad Company is an amiable but derivative spy caper with Chris Rock playing dual roles. One is a Preppie CIA spy who is killed in action. The other his unknown twin brother who is a ticket scalper and part time DJ growing up in the wrong side of the city without the breaks and money that the other brother had.He is approached by Anthony Hopkins to be trained by the CIA quickly to finish the deal his brother started as they have nine days to buy a nuclear bomb in the black market in Europe. Cue some intense training and early morning cold showers as we go headlong to Trading Places land.Despite Rock playing a part probably written for Eddie Murphy its an OK but silly action comedy by Joel Schumacher. Hopkins is too old to be a CIA field agent but seems to be enjoying himself,there are a few twists and turns and Rock is not too overbearing. Its a time waster, enjoyable enough but do not think too deeply about the movie.

Take a talented comic, put him in an old plot, and you've got "Bad Company," a 2002 film also starring Anthony Hopkins, Chris Rock, Peter Stormare, and Gabriel Macht. This film was scheduled for release in late 2001, and because some of it was filled at the World Trade Center, the release was delayed until June of 2002.Officer Oakes (Hopkins) of the CIA is involved in an undercover job dealing with the purchase of nuclear arms when his partner (Rock), who was the man inside, is killed. Operatives find a lookalike, Jake Hayes, a guy who scalps tickets and does about anything he can to make a living. He couldn't be more different from his lookalike, who turns out to be his twin. They were separated in order to be adopted more easily.Jake accepts the assignment to become "Michael Turner" for a lot of money, because he's just been dumped by his girlfriend (Kerry Washington) who is moving away, since Jake hasn't made it so they can get married. He has nine days to become Harvard graduate Kevin Pope, who worked undercover Michael Turner. Problems ensue, one of whom is his brother's girlfriend, Nicole (Garcelle Beauvais).We've seen this film in one form or another a million times. Chris Rock is so talented and funny, however, that he makes it very enjoyable. Anthony Hopkins is completely wasted. Not only that, but he seems to know it.This is a good rental, light, and fun.

I didn't get if this movie is suppose to be a spy thriller or a comedy cause it did a terrible job of mixing both. The plot and direction is stupid, especially when it comes to the dialogue. The movie would have worked if it was spontaneous and cool but that isn't the case. The scenes that aren't suppose to be funny is way more funny than the actual scenes that is suppose to be funny. This movie just proved that Chris Rock should never play a serious character although it's short. When it comes to that part of the movie. This movie is just all over the place and isn't put together in a coherent way. The only funny part in this movie is seeing Chris Rock act like a serious character in the beginning. After that he is just plain annoying must of the way through with constant annoying remarks. There is a line that the villain of this movie says at the end that stands out, especially when this movie came out. But it just feels out of place with the rest of the movie which is unfortunate. The idea for this flick might have worked but the execution was just so darn corny and absurd in a negative way. And is mostly just poorly executed with almost no intelligence and wits. The chemistry between the 2 protagonists is alright but didn't go more in depth with it. It's just a easily forgettable movie that isn't worth a second viewing at all. This one probably tried to be another "Enemy of the State" but failed.3.9/10
