Review of Bad Company

Bad Company (2002)
6/10
Bad chemistry
28 August 2003
Whoever thought of the combination of Chris Rock and Anthony Hopkins in an action film must have his or her head examined. These two are obviously in two different films. They never mix. They're olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

One wonders what was Anthony Hopkins thinking when he accepted this film, which doesn't add anything to his acting portfolio. One also wonders what could go in his mind when he has to compare this piece of trash with his previous work in films, such as The Good Father, or his theatre work.

The film doesn't make much sense, at times. How about the weapons being fired all the time?. Either the bad guys have no sense of aim, or their automatic rifles can't shoot a target, even at close range, as it's the case at the beginning of the film when the CIA agent played by Chris Rock dies, but Hopkins doesn't even get a scratch.

Joel Schumacher's direction goes nowhere because it never makes sense either as a thriller, or a comedy.
