Blu-ray Review – Company Business

The Cold War was big business for writer/director Nicholas Meyer in 1991, with one of his biggest hits, "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country," managing to rework global tensions to fit a space opera, emerging with a thoughtful, clever sequel, one of the best in the series. Meyer is a little more direct with his political interests in "Company Business," which offers a traditional take on spy games and government hubris. A Euro-scented buddy comedy that isn't all that interested in producing laughs, "Company Business" is jumble of ideas from the normally measured Meyer, who scrambles to arrange a puzzle of motivations and secrets that play into an era-specific dismantling of national muscle. Perhaps the least effective effort from Meyer, the feature certainly isn't lazy, just uninspired, missing secure direction necessary to make this sophisticated mix of attitudes and locations gripping.
