Chris Rock as a CIA agent? HA HA HA HA!, 24 June 2002
5/10
Author: Rob Deschenes (kalibur@softhome.net) from Toronto, Ontario, Canada

From the beginning I was laughing at unintentional moments. Chris Rock's buggy-eyed CIA agent character completely ruined the mood. The movie has some half-decent action scenes though and OK suspense. Anthony Hopkins, much like the underplaying of Hannibal, pulled off a hauntingly good character that saved Rock from being too goofy. Some of Rock's jokes clicked good too, but there's absolutely nothing special about BAD COMPANY. Actually, it is too old-fashioned.

A CIA agent is killed. What a coincidence, he had a twin brother whom they were both separated at birth. The CIA sell him on the old notion of saving the world if he finishes the mission his brother set out on in the first place.

BAD COMPANY will only be remembered for being one of the last movies (if not, THE last) to be filmed at the World Trade Center, which ironically, the movie is centered around international terrorism and hatred towards the United States as well. With that in mind, and average performances from all involved, BAD COMPANY 's boring tendencies will make it easily forgotten.
