Movie Reviews of Bad Company
Movie Review: Bad Company
Summary: 4 Stars
Bad Company has nothing to do with the ledgendary Southern Rock band of the 70's. This is a well acted, suspensful production with many twists and turns which usually do not work in a film with Chris Rock as the co-star. I was greatly impressed with Chris Rock's ability to deliver a top-notch performance throughout the entire movie. Of course there were a few places where he added comedy pieces, but they were well placed and effective. One can be supremely confident Sir Anthony Hopkins has never given a less than steller performance in any movie he has made, Bad Company is no exception. Antony Hopkins portreys a top agent and handler of the look-alike brother of another agent (Chris Rock). The movie is filled with suspense, intregue and action. Do yourself a favor and put Bad Company near the top of your list of movies to own.
Summary of Bad Company
Academy Award(R)-winner Anthony Hopkins (Best Actor, 1991, THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) and the irrepressible Chris Rock star in this spy action thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat! Veteran CIA agent Gaylord Oakes (Hopkins) must recruit streetwise punk Jake Hayes (Rock) when Jake's identical twin brother is killed in the line of duty. With only nine days to complete a nuclear weapons negotiation, Jake has to go from smart talking to smooth operating and convince all parties he is the sophisticated brother he never knew. From Prague to New York the chase is on and the clock is ticking when more than a preemptive arms deal goes "bad."Bad Company boasts all the gloss one expects from A-list Hollywood talent, but you get a lot of chaff with the wheat. Pay attention to Anthony Hopkins as a weary CIA veteran, and you'll see the reliable work of an old pro giving his best in the absence of challenge. That sums up this movie, however: Hopkins and costar Chris Rock are already fighting clich?s when Rock is recruited into the CIA after his identical twin brother (they'd been separated at birth) is killed in the line of duty. Rock and Hopkins must carry out a sting against nuclear terrorists, but apart from this coincidental similarity to The Sum of All Fears, director Joel Schumacher seems asleep at the wheel, rotely crafting a thriller without thrills for Pearl Harbor producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Those expecting comedy from Rock will be disappointed; Bad Company reins him in, and that restraint affects the rest of the movie. --Jeff Shannon
