Bad Company
Chris Rock and Anthony Hopkins star in this action comedy that isn't as bad as the title suggests. But don't get me wrong, it's not good either. Rock plays Jake Hayes, a ticket dealer thrust into the CIA after his agent twin brother is killed. Hopkins is forced to prepare him in a matter of days to finish the current job. What results is a decent story. What's wrong is the people playing the roles. Rock plays it as a funnyman when he needs to be more serious. Hopkins plays it straight-faced when he needs to be a little looser. While it is a decent story, some parts of it could have been excised or worked on a bit more, like the involvement of Jake's girlfriend Julie in the movie, but when the main selling point of the movie is Chris Rock and Anthony Hopkins, who cares about the story? 2 stars
