Movie Info
Dignified Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins tries the buddy action-comedy on for size with this typically slick and bombastic offering from producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Hopkins stars as Gaylord Oakes, a CIA spy attempting -- along with his partner, Kevin Pope (Chris Rock) -- to secure a suitcase-sized nuclear bomb in Prague from a Russian black marketer (Peter Stormare). Just as the partners discover that another bidder for the device exists, they are ambushed and Pope is killed trying to protect

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.
Top CriticIf you've seen the trailer, you've seen almost everything good in Bad Company.
Rock doesn't really act with the other performers; he stands next to them and buzzes in his own orbit.
Despite its cliché-ridden premise, Bad Company often works simply because there's so much talent on the screen.
Predictably soulless techno-tripe.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer demands the kind of formula action that leaves director Joel Schumacher no space to let characters breathe.
Nuclear-bomb-in-NYC plot leaves sour aftertaste.
Everything about has been done and seen before--even right down to the title, which the very same studio used as the moniker for a Laurence Fishburne/Ellen Barkin thriller.
The action fails to cause any excitement, and most of the characters are paper-thin.
O roteiro é absurdo, a direção de Schumacher é fraca e o filme, em si, é simplesmente ridículo.
Rock is trying too hard, and Hopkins isn't trying at all.
The funniest thing about Bad Company is that Hopkins actually agreed to star in it.
An easy watch, except for the annoying demeanour of its lead character.
