Bad Company is a crime/drama film from 1995 directed by Damian Harris and written by Ross Thomas. It stars Laurence Fishburne and Ellen Barkin.

[edit] Plot

The film is about a pair of former spies now applying their skills in the private sector, blackmailing and murdering anyone in their way. Fishburne plays a man too cool to ever do anything except smile, and Barkin is almost as emotionless. The film has been decried as misogynistic for its callous brutality towards women, but the main point of contention among viewers is whether or not its stylish yet totally soulless attitude is a good thing or a bad thing.
