Bad Company (2002)
Typical fish out of water action yarn as Anthony Hopkins CIA handler has to train streetwise Chris Rock to become an agent in nine days.
Joel Schumacher directing a Jerry Bruckheimer production probably tells you all you need to know about Bad Company. Naturally it was critically panned and it's wisecracking tom foolery nothing we haven't seen before and yet i actually quite like the film.
It's entertaining, occasionally amusing and sports a decent amount of action. Hopkins and Rock are no Gibson and Glover, Murphy and Nolte or even Turner and Hooch but it's all amiable enough stuff and easily wiles away a couple of hours.
