| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekEverything in it seems recycled from earlier movies....Any movie in which a bomb plays so prominent part has no business being such a dud. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordWhile there's something intrinsically funny about Sir Anthony Hopkins saying 'Get in the car, bitch,' this Jerry Bruckheimer production has little else to offer |
| Hollywood ReporterDavid HunterIt's got all the familiar Bruckheimer elements, and Schumacher does probably as good a job as anyone at bringing off the Hopkins/Rock collision of acting styles and onscreen personas. |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreBad luck, bad script, bad acting. Bad Company? Bad movie. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldThe film was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Joel Schumacher, and reflects the worst of their shallow styles: wildly overproduced, inadequately motivated every step of the way and demographically targeted to please every one (and no one). |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyBad Company would just be another silly, intermittently funny, buddy comedy (Anthony Hopkins is Rock's training agent) were it not for a plot unlaughably close to current events. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanThere's surprisingly little awkward comic interplay between the two, and as a result "Bad Company" beats "Rush Hour" at its own game. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusFitfully funny but never exciting or engaging, modestly entertaining but excessively dimwitted, and finally just too darn long in a word, relentlessly average. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxThis is a movie on autopilot, too tired and broken down even to find an appropriate place to crash. |
| HoleCity.comCatherine CantieriWe started to wonder if ... some unpaid intern had just typed 'Chris Rock,' 'Anthony Hopkins' and 'terrorists' into some Univac-like script machine. |
