Bad Company Ratings & Reviews
匚卂尺ㄥ
February 20, 2025
Anthony Hopkins stars as a CIA agent who must train a wise cracking, street smart ticket scalper, played by Chris Rock, how to act like his twin brother who was also a CIA operative. The only reason to put these two actors together is to make Anthony Hopkins the straight man to Chris Rock’s comedy. The problem is that they only share a couple of scenes that allow for that. The rest of the movie forces the two of them to focus on plot and action. This also never really allows Chris Rock to set up his style of comedy, which needs to be set up. The end of the second act felt like the finale, and the true finale was boring. Skip this movie.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Nuclear-bomb-in-NYC plot leaves sour aftertaste.
Chicago Reader
Hank Sartin
Director Joel Schumacher does a fair job of managing the chaos, but after a while you get tired of being dragged from setup to setup.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
If you've seen the trailer, you've seen almost everything good in Bad Company.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The film is really not so much bad as bland.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
Rock doesn't really act with the other performers; he stands next to them and buzzes in his own orbit.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
Despite its clich-ridden premise, Bad Company often works simply because there's so much talent on the screen.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Predictably soulless techno-tripe.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
This generic summer popcorn movie would be instantly forgettable if not for the sour aftertaste left by its climax, with a nuclear bomb set to explode in New York City's Grand Central Station.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer demands the kind of formula action that leaves director Joel Schumacher no space to let characters breathe.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
After nearly two hours, it all mercifully ends, leaving the viewer to ponder all the ways that $80 million dollars might have been better spent.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
Deft, funny and intelligently scary.
Variety
Joe Leydon
Hopkins breezes through the proceedings with an appealingly jaded nonchalance ... that easily morphs into steely authority whenever such stern stuff is required.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Bad Company is a bad movie with really bad timing.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
A long-winded, predictable scenario.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
More a gunfest than a Rock concert.
USA Today
Mike Clark
Bad Company leaves a bad taste, not only because of its bad-luck timing, but also the staleness of its script.
Seattle Times
Mark Rahner
If you can cut the right wires and deactivate key portions of your brain, Bad Company is sort of fun and sort of funny -- although it doesn't take a CIA agent like Jack Ryan to note that that phrase always means a movie ain't much good.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Seems more like a product than an attempt to tell a story.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
This cookie-cutter spy thriller depends on the chemistry between Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock. Um, wait, there isn't any.
