Synopsis

In BAD COMPANY, Academy Award®-winner Anthony Hopkins portrays Gaylord Oakes, a veteran CIA agent who must transform sarcastic, street-wise punk Jake Hayes (Chris Rock) into a sophisticated and savvy spy to replace his murdered identical twin brother, Kevin Pope (Rock). Oakes only has nine days to accomplish this 'mission: improbable', before having to negotiate a sensitive nuclear weapons deal.

Jason Richman Michael Browning wrote the screenplay based on a story by Gary Goodman and David Himmelstein. Executive producers are Chad Oman, Clayton Townsend, Lary Simpson and Gary Goodman.
