Critic Reviews

  • Hank Sartin, Chicago Reader

    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.

  • Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

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

  • 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.

  • Bill Muller, Arizona Republic

    Despite its cliché-ridden premise, Bad Company often works simply because there's so much talent on the screen.

  • Michael Atkinson, Village Voice

    I know I have seen this movie a number of times just can't believe I haven't reviewed it. This is a enjoyable action movie with of course the great comedy in it. Hopkins and Chris Rock were excellent together. Without a doubt a sequel or two could have been made. Great chase… More

  • Tim S


    Not a great one, but it has its moments.

  • Anthony L


    Stupid and awful.

  • Leigh R


    Funny.

  • Lady D


    So 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.
