Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Bad Company is an excellent film which combines wry humor and gritty action with in-depth characterizations of two youths on the lam in the Civil War west.

fresh:
Benton's first film, a Western good enough to make everything he has done since seem disappointing by comparison.

fresh:
A naturalistic, irreverent and sometimes broadly comic view of a largely ignored aspect of the Civil War gives Bad Company a refreshingly good name.
– Roger Greenspun,

21 May 2005
fresh:
The movie is built as a series of more-or-less self-contained episodes, and the episodes that work are worth the effort.
