Revealing mistakes: When Jake is calling with the NOKIA 9210 he is speaking on the wrong side of the phone. The speaker and the mic are on the other side. moreQuotes:
Jake Hayes: If you stayed on top of things, you'd understand that the traditional checks are not 100% fool-proof. This last test was designed by the head of nuclear science at Caltech, a Dr. Dre. Dr. Dre, along with Dr. Irving and Professor Griffin and the rest of the Wu Tang Clan, know that it is best when you have a baseline screen situation to achieve a pulsopular cataclysmic calibration or something we like to call the Shaq Attack.Michelle Petrov: Shaq Attack?
Jake Hayes: Yes, named after Dr. O'Neal of Los Angeles, formerly of Orlando.

From the beginning I was laughing at unintentional moments. Chris Rock's buggy-eyed CIA agent character completely ruined the mood. The movie has some half-decent action scenes though and OK suspense. Anthony Hopkins, much like the underplaying of Hannibal, pulled off a hauntingly good character that saved Rock from being too goofy. Some of Rock's jokes clicked good too, but there's absolutely nothing special about BAD COMPANY. Actually, it is too old-fashioned.
A CIA agent is killed. What a coincidence, he had a twin brother whom they were both separated at birth. The CIA sell him on the old notion of saving the world if he finishes the mission his brother set out on in the first place.
BAD COMPANY will only be remembered for being one of the last movies (if not, THE last) to be filmed at the World Trade Center, which ironically, the movie is centered around international terrorism and hatred towards the United States as well. With that in mind, and average performances from all involved, BAD COMPANY 's boring tendencies will make it easily forgotten.
