Deft, funny and intelligently scary. - 63
New York Post
There is much more suspense in this sequence than a similar scene in last week's "The Sum of All Fears" -- which wasn't intended to be funny. - 60
TV Guide Magazine
Hopkins and Rock are a surprisingly good mix; Hopkins actually underplays his role as a company man with a barely acknowledged conscience, while Rock's manic impulses aren't allowed to run riot. - 60
Washington Post
Anthony Hopkins, with a toothpick and a slouch. Fabulous! - 50
Philadelphia Inquirer
Bad 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. - 50
Chicago Reader
As in all Jerry Bruckheimer-produced summer blockbusters, the premise is paper-thin and the action sequences play out with assembly-line regularity. - 40
Los Angeles Times
Whether you care if they find them (terrorists) or not may depend on how much you've been able to withstand Bad Company's sensory overload of firefights, vehicular mayhem, techno-cool swagger and enough bumptious contrivances to fill several seasons of daffy prime-time soaps. - 30
Washington Post
A longwinded, predictable scenario.
