Bullet Proof

Maximum a 3, if you don't care about stupid scenarios or even stupider characters. I kept watching expecting a few decent scenes, but no. It kept getting worse. I had to stop half way to calm my nerves. What a waste. Skip.

People need a reminder that not all movies have to have insane budgets or be award worthy or deep for them to be entertaining. This was a fun action film! It was really fast paced, it made time go by really quickly. I was impressed with it for what it was. Action sequences were cool! The Frenchman is not your typical hitman, more soft spoken, but it kind of worked. There's some great humor that I wasn't expecting, and yeah it hits a lot of action movie tropes, but that seems like it was on purpose, so I liked it. Reminded me of 90s action films. Vinnie Jones isn't the greatest actor, but that's okay, he fits the bad guy thing well, there's a reason he's typecast often and it worked well in this. The new actors that play Mia and The Thief were both pretty good and had some great and sometimes funny chemistry. 7/10.

No less than 30 reviews were posted on June 14, 2022. All them rated this movie a 10. Yet when I submit this, I'll be sent an email stating that some admins are going to parse mine before it's posted. I gotta chuckle outta that.

Alright, so we all know there are a handful of movies out of the tens of thousands that have been produced in the history of film that actually rate a 10. This ain't one of them.

This is one of the better Vinnie Jones films out of everything that's been released over the past decade. He does "Vinnie Jones" in this pretty well. In a lot of the others he seems to force the character. What else is he going to do? He's been typecast into the role.

Aside from nothing being original, from the script, the soundtrack, and the cinematography, it at least was a smooth ride from beginning to end. There were no noticeably huge plot holes, and the continuity of the film seemed bang on.

Not too deep, paced to keep me interested, I guarantee you've seen worse.

What is the fascination with hoillywood and Vinnie Jones. He was an average soccar player, known more for his temper than his skills and it seems that in america, he lacks either. He really REALLY can't act worth a toss, he's not a hard man, just a dodgy looking wannabe geezer. He only had his debut in the Guy Richie film Lock Stock and two Smoking barrels because he was a drinking buddy with Guy and because he was so desperate for work he'd do it for virtually nothing. Maybe it's the fake east end 'cockney' accent that hides his lack of ability. Well I suppose given the tripe he appears in it's all his audience can stand.

Basically what I'm saying is if you see Vinnie Jones on the cast list, advoid like the plague. Take some laxatives and a book to the toilet - you'll have a much more enjoyable time.

It's the same old same old with added shmutz and a piss poor story that has been told numerous times afore. Embarrassing and amateur for the most part.
