What happens

Bad Company is a 1995 American neo-noir thriller film directed by Damian Harris and written by Ross Thomas. The film stars Ellen Barkin and Laurence Fishburne as former CIA operatives engaging in a dubious romance while plotting to murder their boss, played by Frank Langella, and take over his firm, which specializes in blackmail and corporate espionage. The film has a supporting cast that includes Michael Beach, David Ogden Stiers, Daniel Hugh Kelly, Spalding Gray, James Hong, and Michael Murphy. Bad Company would go on to gross just over $3.6 million in a limited theatrical release in the United States. Though the film drew mostly negative reviews from critics, it has since enjoyed lucrative success in the home video market. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
