Diagonaldi Very well executed

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Prismark10 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.

Arik_P This is one of the best action comedy thrillers I have seen in a very very long time.The film is just flowing from one action scene to another , with a very clear pattern of what the problem is and how it is to be solved. Anthony Hopkins is the best the actor I know (Except Morgan Freeman) to play Officer Oakes .As for Chris Rock he is the right man at the right place at the right time. The bad guys are bad!Peter Stormare is the eternal Russian bad guy, doing a good job as such!John Slattery as Roland Yates head of the CIA task force has really nothing else in mind except getting the job done no matter what it takes. Filming on location in Prague adds another taste of the X- "cold war" taste to the movie.All in all: fun,action packed,fast pacing,

Jackson Booth-Millard I have say firstly that I never would have thought of Sir Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock in a film together, but, it happened, from director Joel Schumacher (Batman Forever, Phone Booth). Basically, while working with him, Officer Oakes (Hopkins) witnesses Harvard educated African American CIA agent Kevin Pope (Rock) killed during an operation. The agency need to finish a project that he was working on, so they recruit his twin brother, street-wise hustler Jake Hayes (Rock again) to do the job. Oakes trains Jake, alias Michael Turner, how to act and talk like his brother, his interests, his social life, and ultimately his lifestyle, ready to face the terrorists, led by Adrik Vas (Fargo's Peter Stormare). After a while, it was obvious the bad guys would discover Jake's real identity, so they kidnap his girlfriend/fiancé Julie (The Last King of Scotland's Kerry Washington) to get what they want, otherwise they set off a nuclear weapon. Also starring Gabriel Macht as Agent Seale, John Slattery as Roland Yates, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon as Nicole, Matthew Marsh as Dragan Adjanic and Brooke Smith as Agent Swanson. Hopkins and Rock do make a good buddy duo, Rock does lack a little bit of impact, but Hopkins is great as the dry witted agent, and there are some great chase and gun play sequences. Good!

xredgarnetx BAD COMPANY is probably the worst spy thriller I have ever seen, and I've seen hundreds of them as a former film reviewer and lifelong movie nut. A CIA veteran played by a sleepwalking Anthony Hopkins must train a schlub played by a very unfunny Chris Rock to pose as an illegal arms buyer in just a few days, and don't ask why. Rock is to purchase a "thermonuclear device in a briefcase." Everything that can go wrong does, but mainly the film is a series of short scenes depicting an aging Hopkins and his crew running around interspersed with scenes of a seemingly endless army of black-garbed assassins trying to rub out Rock -- again, don't ask why. It's simply lazy writing. To give you an idea of how bad this movie is, there is a prolonged fight between one of Hopkins' agents and one of these black-garbed assassins. Problem is, we barely know the agent and have no feeling for him, but the fight goes on at great length as if this CIA guy were the second coming of James Bond. And decent supporting players like Brooke "Crossing Jordan" Smith and Peter "Fargo" Stormare are utterly wasted. What could Joel Schumacher have been thinking? I confess I fell asleep before the big finale. One firefight too many, methinks. I can only hope everyone was blown to kingdom come in the end.
