January 15, 2008So much better than I expected this to be. There were some extremely funny moments coming from Chris Rock of course, but also from Anthony Hopkins at times. The story itself was unexpectably good and held me from start to finish.

October 26, 2007A totally enjoyable, hard-hitting and explosive action-packed thriller. Packs plenty of kinetic thrills, great gun fights and outragious humor. Gut bustingly funny and tremendously exciting. Chris Rock and Anthony Hopkins are dynamite together. Suspense-Thriller meets Action-Adve... read more

March 9, 2007Anthony Hopkins is out of place and on autopilot during this by the numbers buddy thriller, but you have to ask yourself why he got involved with such inconsequential pap in the first place. At least Rock is less annoying than usual.

February 13, 2007It's hard to know what to make of this movie. Action-Comedy-Thriller? With Chris Rock. It is a really strange mix, but it works somehow. Never in a million years would it have occured to me to put Anthony Hopkins and Rock together, but again, they just seems to have this wicked c... read more

November 21, 2006It was like there were two bags of names. One had old veteran actors and the other had young stars. They pulled out the names and here we have Hopkins and Rock. Then they threw darts at a plot board. 1st hit: Nuke, 2nd Hit: Terrorsits, 3rd Hit: Buddy action 4th Hit: Estranged Twi... read more

If you've seen the trailer, you've seen almost everything good in Bad Company. Full Review

Peter Rainer, New York Magazine
Rock doesn't really act with the other performers; he stands next to them and buzzes in his own orbit. Full Review

Bill Muller, Arizona Republic
Despite its cliché-ridden premise, Bad Company often works simply because there's so much talent on the screen.
June 10, 2002
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer demands the kind of formula action that leaves director Joel Schumacher no space to let characters breathe.
June 10, 2002
Joe Leydon, Variety
Hopkins breezes through the proceedings with an appealingly jaded nonchalance ... that easily morphs into steely authority whenever such stern stuff is required. Full Review

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Bad Company is a bad movie with really bad timing. Full Review
