Bad Company could be considered a British rock "supergroup", considering that all four of the founding members were already well respected musicians in established and successful British rock bands. Former Free vocalist Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke joined forces with Mott The Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs and King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell to form Bad Company in 1973. The band signed on with Led Zeppelin's Swan Song record label and immediately established themselves as a major force on the blues-rock scene.

His solo album, Cut Loose, was released in 1983, and Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters hit record store shelves in 1992. He would ... participate in two band-projects: The Firm, with Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin fame and, The Law with ex-The Who drummer Kenney Jones.

BAD COMPANY tells the timeless story of a CIA operative who is killed in the line of duty. He was working on something big: he had gained the trust of a Russian arms dealer and would soon have been able to purchase a suitcase-bomb. When the agent, Kevin Pope, gets killed saving his partners life, the CIA is stuck for a way to keep the deal going. Theres one choice. And its a crazy one. Kevin, you see, had an identical twin he never knew existed.

Bad Company is a slick film, well photographed in ominous grays and deep blues. It has an interesting score, it's well framed, and it's mercifully free of car chases and explosions. But without characters to latch onto, both Barkin and Fishburne seem at a loss for what to do. The sparks that should fly rarely do, and when they do, they can't be sustained.

Bad company is both the name of this movie and an admonition to Touchstone Pictures and its parent company, Disney. Man, what a stinker. This comes hot on the heels of another wretched piece of cinema by the same company, Sorority Boys. Ugh. Bad Company is not an outright stinker. Its high level of merde is the result of a combining of many standard, tired movie plots into one long boring movie.
