Bad Company description A genteel Northerner during the Civil War (Barry Brown) is robbed by scalawag Jeff Bridges--and winds up teaming up with him. Together, they become a criminal duo (although with one member more reluctant than the other) in this entertaining, realistic tale of what the West was really like. Bridges has a gangly, easy-going demeanor, as well as a sense o ... review details |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Entertaining revisionist western with great cast |
| In the late 1960s and early 1970s, more and more westerns came along that tried to show the Wild West as it really was. Some were better than others obviously, and Bad Company is one of the best. In 1863, young Drew Dixon is sent west by his family to avoid being conscripted into the U.S. army during the Civil War. In St. Joseph, Missouri, Dixon meets Jake Rumsey, a young man who has deserted from his outfit. Dixon joins Rumsey and his gang of young, inexperienced "desperadoes" traveling into the untamed west looking for riches and a new life. But on the trail, the group of six realize how inexperienced they are, especially when they run across a band of outlaws. This isn't a well-known movie, but it should be. The story is beautifully told and doesn't rush to any conclusions. The movie takes it's time moving along and developing the plot full of humor, double crosses, and startling violence that caught me off guard the first time I saw it. In a time when the western genre was struggling and now in 2008, Bad Company is one of the better ones, don't miss out.
The two main leads in Bad Company are equally strong and carry the movie. A very young Jeff Bridges plays Jake Rumsey, the leader of the little bunch and the most experienced of them when it comes to living on your own. Bridges is good at being a character that you're not quite sure what drives him. Sometimes he's on the straight and narrow, other times he veers off. Barry Brown plays Drew Dixon, the young man sent west to avoid the Civil War and tries to remain true to the way he was brought up, being a good man and trying to live a clean life. Brown and Bridges play beautifully off each other throughout. The rest of the little gang includes John Savage as Loney, Jerry Houser as Simms, Damon Cofer as Jim Bob, and Joshua Hill Lewis as Boog, the youngest of the bunch. David Huddleston is perfect as Big Joe, the leader of a group of outlaws who come across Jake and Drew several times on the trail. His gang includes Geoffrey Lewis, Ed Lauter, Raymond Guth, and John Quade. Bad Company has a very strong cast overall from beginning to end, from Jeff Bridges and Barry Brown all the way to the bit parts. The DVD offers a widescreen presentation and nothing else. It's a good thing the movie is excellent on it's own. At least throw a trailer in or something. But with a great cast, some beautiful cinematography, and a memorable piano-heavy musical score, Bad Company is a safe bet for fans of westerns that lean more toward the realistic. It's not a hugely well-known movie, but don't let that scare you away, check out Bad Company! |
