Review of Bad Company

Not sure who coerced Anthony Hopkins to enter into such a bland, standard, project, but luckily for all of the rest involved with "Bad Company", he single-handedly keeps the movie from going under. What is supposed to be a bunch of laughs draws a few chuckles at best. The story stretches plausibility beyond razor thin, as if something so bumbling could happen with nuclear weapons. On top of such a poor conception of plot and story, the general music for this movie has been conjured inside take your pick: out of an elevator or supermarket playlist. Chris Rock was miscast here and should not be involved with anything less serious than comedy. Yeah, he knows how to throw out 1-liners, but this movie is "trying" to pass as an action movie. OK as a free library rental thanks to Hopkins.
