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.

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

Really struggles to get much mileage out of the material.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 2, 2002
The film is really not so much bad as bland.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 16, 2002
Rock doesn't really act with the other performers; he stands next to them and buzzes in his own orbit.

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

Predictably soulless techno-tripe.

This generic summer popcorn movie would be instantly forgettable if not for the sour aftertaste left by its climax, with a nuclear bomb set to explode in New York City's Grand Central Station.

After nearly two hours, it all mercifully ends, leaving the viewer to ponder all the ways that $80 million dollars might have been better spent.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 10, 2002
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer demands the kind of formula action that leaves director Joel Schumacher no space to let characters breathe.

Deft, funny and intelligently scary.

Hopkins breezes through the proceedings with an appealingly jaded nonchalance ... that easily morphs into steely authority whenever such stern stuff is required.

Bad Company is a bad movie with really bad timing.

A long-winded, predictable scenario.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 7, 2002
More a gunfest than a Rock concert.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 7, 2002
Bad Company leaves a bad taste, not only because of its bad-luck timing, but also the staleness of its script.

Feels like the kind of movie that might have been designed by a marketing software program for MBA studio executives.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 7, 2002
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.
