I befriended a young lady at the club I work out at. Our conversation began because she brought to the club Kit Kat candy, which I spotted while she was on a treadmill. I will refer to her as Dr. Kit Kat for the purpose of these reviews. While at medical school at Ohio State University she contracted hepatitis. She was given a shot to protect against hepatitis prior to coming down with the disease. The shot failed to protect;…

The dialog, all or most, sounded like ADR, which came across as unrealistic a lot of the time….
Bad Company was a jewel of a find. I just could not believe that a comedy and spy movie could be put together with so much success. I lost my self in this movie which is a good indicator that it worked. Anthony Hopkins being in this movie was a bit of a shock. I think of him as being a serious actor.
