CIA operative Kevin Pope (Chris Rock) is suave, brilliant and right on the verge of completing a top secret mission to keep a rogue nuclear weapon off the black market when he is suddenly killed. With the clock ticking and no other options available, the CIA reluctantly enlists Kevin's long-lost identical twin brother Jake to take his place. Jake is the mirror opposite of Kevin, a working class Joe, it's a comically uphill challenge to train him as a secret agent and get him in the field.

Critics Consensus

Chris Rock and Anthony Hopkins fail to generate the sparks necessary to save the movie from a generic and utterly predictable script.

Nuclear-bomb-in-NYC plot leaves sour aftertaste.

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.

As the film begins to lose much of its momentum and forcefulness, it's nevertheless tough to rob Hopkins of an incredible screen presence.

Mildly entertaining, but then I fell asleep. I doubt it gets any better. But it does have that 90s look and cinematography to it that I enjoy. Chris Rock as the spy? I think maybe the film takes itself a bit too seriously. In the same vein, Enemy of the State was way better.

Chris Crock as suave? That would take a miracle and would be an Oscar winning performance. How did they get Anthony Hopkins to join this crap? Blackmail, death threats, a whole lot of money?

Um filme de ação e comédia estrelado pelo nojento Chris Rock e o sempre maravilhoso Anthony Hopkins. O filme se tornou um tanto famoso por suas conexões com os ataques terroristas de 11 de setembro; foi a última grande produção a ser filmada dentro do World Trade Center original e cita, entre outros terroristas, um Afeganistão... Pior que é até engraçadinho, com boas cenas de ação, perseguição, tiro, porrada e bomba, clima de tensão na medida, um pouco longo, mas agradável...

Anthony Hopkins stars as a CIA agent who must train a wise cracking, street smart ticket scalper, played by Chris Rock, how to act like his twin brother who was also a CIA operative. The only reason to put these two actors together is to make Anthony Hopkins the straight man to Chris Rock’s comedy. The problem is that they only share a couple of scenes that allow for that. The rest of the movie forces the two of them to focus on plot and action. This also never really allows Chris Rock to set up his style of comedy, which needs to be set up. The end of the second act felt like the finale, and the true finale was boring. Skip this movie.
