Bad
Company
doesn’t work on any level. Not only isn’t it a good Jerry Bruckheimer
movie, this is the worst-made Jerry Bruckheimer movie
ever… ever! This thing
makes Days of Thunder look like commercial poetry.
It’s probably Joel Schumacher’s worst work ever. Batman & Robin was a disaster, but
in context. The movie,
as ridiculous as it was, made sense.
Characters were consistent.
Bad Company is a pre-fab buddy thriller that
neither paints by the numbers effectively nor reaches for
a single ounce of originality.
Even the color of Chris Rock’s skin seems to
be an element that the filmmakers just didn’t bother to address.
