Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: This formulaic countdown-to-oblivion number is so sluggish and impersonal, it could very well have been directed from two states away by remote-controlled robot. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Rock, Hopkins sleepwalk through formulaic flick. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Schumacher bungles the action sequences as badly as he bungled Batman and Robin, and he pushes the violence to the limits of the PG-13 rating. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: Bad Company is a bad movie with really bad timing. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: The comic material is pedestrian and utterly predictable. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: If you've seen the trailer, you've seen almost everything good in Bad Company. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: Bad Company, like many of the nonpolitical terrorist-as-villain spectaculars that have been held back after Sept. 11, has the whiff of something gone stale. Read more
Mark Rahner, Seattle Times: If you can cut the right wires and deactivate key portions of your brain, Bad Company is sort of fun and sort of funny -- although it doesn't take a CIA agent like Jack Ryan to note that that phrase always means a movie ain't much good. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Read more
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. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: The movie's blatant derivativeness is one reason it's so lackluster. Read more
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: This film, starring Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock, is your typical 'fish out of water' story. You've seen them a million times. Just one problem: Fish out of water usually die. This one does. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: Among [the film's] various low points, it features the worst Anthony Hopkins performance I've seen. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Shrewd and unflummoxed even when undermined by the story's inherent stupidity, Rock is the patch of street smarts on which an even odder couple stand ... Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Though it has some pop and plenty of corn, Bad Company is one of those wise-cracking, buddy-pic, ticking-nuke-bomb kind of summer action comedies that makes you feel hungry for less. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: There's no telling how bad Bad Company might have been without Chris Rock. But we can tell you that it's still pretty atrocious with him. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: Deft, funny and intelligently scary. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: Rock doesn't really act with the other performers; he stands next to them and buzzes in his own orbit. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Bad Company has one of the most moronic screenplays of the year, full of holes that will be obvious even to those who aren't looking for them. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: One problem with the movie, directed by Joel Schumacher, is that it jams too many prefabricated story elements into the running time. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: This cookie-cutter spy thriller depends on the chemistry between Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock. Um, wait, there isn't any. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Seems more like a product than an attempt to tell a story. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Feels like the kind of movie that might have been designed by a marketing software program for MBA studio executives. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: Bad Company leaves a bad taste, not only because of its bad-luck timing, but also the staleness of its script. Read more
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. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: Predictably soulless techno-tripe. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: A long-winded, predictable scenario. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: More a gunfest than a Rock concert. Read more
