In all my life I have NEVER seen a more appropriately titled picture.  The name says it all, though "HORRIBLE COMPANY" would have also worked.  I sat there in the theatre and wondered, WHO thought this trash up?  From start to finish, it didn't work.  The acting sucked and the story was predictable.

Anthony Hopkins, a superb actor who should have run as fast as he could from this turkey, played a CIA agent who has to track down and buy a small nuclear bomb before some terrorist can get their hands on it.  This
would be relatively easy if not for the fact that the agent that had been dealing with the owners of the bomb was killed.  His death is kept a secret and Hopkins tracks down his identical twin.  Geeeezzz!  To make things even STUPIDER, the twin doesn't even know that he IS a twin.  Enter Chris Rock with his NO acting self!  I mean, the brother is funny as a stand up comedian but as a serious actor he is absolutely HORRIBLE!!!   Woooo!   Bad!  His lines were "forced" and the comedy that he tried was terribly timed.  This was a serious story about a serious subject, terrorism, and Chris was acting like he was at The Apollo.  He didn't fit and the pairing of him and Hopkins was a total disaster.  The story was weak and TRIED to build to a climax that fizzled.  Chris should keep his "night" job and Hopkins should give back the money.

"I'd beat your ass so bad, you'd be the only one in heaven with a wheelchair!"

RECOMMENDATION:  If you're a Hopkins or Rock fan, STAY AWAY, this picture
will only piss you off!  Non-fans will feel violated like I did!  TRASH!

TWO TOTALLY WASTED CELLULOID THUMBS DOWN!!!  (way down!)
