The unexpected casting of honored thespian Anthony Hopkins and incidental actor Chris Rock – the former as a CIA operative and the latter as a street punk who’s
recruited by the agency to help track down a missing atom bomb – gives Bad Company some zip. Yet rather than allow us to enjoy their comic interplay, this mainly reverts to generic car chases and shootouts. Such scenes may be sprinkled with the stars’ opposing personalities, but they’re still generic in the end.
