Bad Company (2002)

Details Release Date: Nov 12, 2002; Movie Rated: PG-13; Genres: Action/Adventure, Comedy, Mystery and Thriller; With: Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock; Distributor: Touchstone Pictures

The teaming of Jerry Bruckheimer and Joel Schumacher for Bad Company sparks ideas of the Most Fabulous Action Flick, not the Great Action Comedy. Ice-cold CIA agent Gaylord Oakes (Anthony Hopkins) enlists the aid of street-savvy Jake Hayes (Chris Rock) to close a nuclear-weapons deal in Prague. But there's not a shred of evidence that this Rock is the same man famous for his clever, biting comedy. Following a predictable car chase, two boring bloodbaths, and a rooftop standoff, Hayes finally beats Oakes into submission with banal one-liners.
