    Not original, but not the worst movie in the genre either.

    I'm not a big fan of Adam Sandler and I normally don't appreciate all those buddy / action comedies. But I have to admit that this movie wasn't even the worst in the genre. Yes from time to time it can even be quite enjoyable. However, there's already a huge list of this kind of movies and "Bulletproof" certainly isn't the best of them either.

    Damon Wayans is an undercover cop who works with an unsuspecting criminal, played by Adam Sandler, to catch the big boss of a drug cartel. What happens next is a mix of a lot of action and some fun parts. The action sequences are nice to watch, but not every joke in this movie works very well. Still, in the end it isn't too bad, but like many action comedies, this one is very predictable and sometimes also very much over-the-top.

    I guess this movie will be loved most by the people who like the genre or by the great fans of Sandler's work. Since I don't belong to any of these two groups, I give it only a 5.5/10.

    Wasn't that bad.

    Not a bad action film featuring two comedians. I wish Adam Sandler worked out when he was younger and maybe he could have carved an action movie career for himself. He always had the quick wit, he just needed the brawn. So, BulletProof is actually very good action film.

    Underrated for sure

    I thought it was pretty good. It had good action, decent story and there was some really funny parts. I bought it cheap at Walmart and I'm glad I did. I will watch it again for sure.

    I'm not sure

    Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler team up in this film about betrayal, loyalty, friendship, and getting a gun in your a**. I actually found some scenes funny, but this type of film isn't really made for Sandler (or Wayans for that matter). But, they try, and they succeed, sort of. James Caan is good as a villain boss. B+

    Great Timing and Pace, Full of Twists and a Great Entertainment

    The criminals Rock Keats (Damon Wayans) and Archie Moses (Adam Sandler) are best friends and have been stealing cars together for one year. Archie invites Rock to join the gang of the drug lord Frank Colton (James Caan) without knowing that Rock is indeed the undercover detective Jack Carter, assigned to get evidences against Frank. During the police raid against a heroin shipping of Frank, Archie accidentally shoots Jack in his head. Once recovered, Jack declares Archie his enemy, and arrests him. But the former mates have to join forces against Frank's gangsters and many dirty cops.

    "Bulletproof" is a very funny police story, with a great timing and pace. There is a great chemistry between Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler, the good story has many twists and jokes, the cast is charming, especially the gorgeous Kristen Wilson and this is the second time that I watch this film and I still like it. This movie seems to be underrated in IMDb, with some very unfair reviews, and it is a great entertainment. My vote is seven.
