Absolutely Brilliant!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Rock Keats (Damon Wayans) and Archie Moses (Adam Sandler) are petty criminals and best friends. It turns out that Keats is undercover cop Jack Carter working for a year to take down crime boss Frank Coltan (James Caan). The big arrest doesn't go as plan. Jack gets discovered and Moses accidentally shots him during the escape. It's a big bust but Coltan is not part of it. Now Coltan is after Moses for revenge. Moses gets arrested and agrees to testify against Coltan. Jack and Archie are not happy with each other but are forced to work together when Coltan's men come after them.This is trying to be 48 Hrs. with Wayans and Sandler. On the face of it, this should work. They are good comedians at the height of their popularity. Sandler is wisecracking while Wayans is being as angry as possible. It doesn't work. I actually like it at the beginning when Wayans and Sandler are buddies together. The bar fight is great and loads of fun. Everything after that is an unlikeable mess. I don't like angry Wayans and Sandler gets more annoying as the movie goes on. The characters don't like each other and I don't like them together.

Bulletproof (1996) *** (out of 4) After agreeing to testify against a drug lord (James Caan), lowlife Moses (Adam Sandler) ends up with the undercover cop (Damon Wayans) that originally busted him. The two end up out on the road with hit men and dirty cops after them trying to make sure Moses can't get to court but the biggest threat for the two men are each other. If you're looking for a smart and intelligent film then you're not going to find it here but if you're just looking for a good time then the two stars really deliver. There's no question that this is a "B" movie as there's nothing ground-breaking here and you're not going to have your life changed in any way, shape or form. BULLETPROOF has a simple plot that's just meant to give the two stars something to work their magic with. I think the strongest point of the film are its two stars because they share some terrific chemistry and really take the material and do something special with it. The majority of the humor is silly R-rated stuff like porn jokes, urine jokes and other things like that but the way Wayans and Sandler sells it makes it funny. There are some hilarious moments here including a Disneyland joke early in the picture and the constant banter between the two really works well. The two actors really make you believe their characters and this allows the situation to be funny and especially in the scenes where Wayans pretty much abuses Sandler over the issue that happened at the start of the film. Caan is pretty much just being himself and picking up a paycheck but he's always worth watching and it's fun to see him here. BULLETPROOF also contains some fun action scenes, is well-directed and really just delivers nice laughs.

I actually wanted to like Bulletproof, despite my general dislike for Adam Sandler, because I like buddy movies and James Caan is a great actor. I give Bulletproof some credit for some slickly shot shoot-out sequences, but other than that everything else feels wrong to me. When I think of a good buddy movie, I think of likable characters, juicy dialogue to savour and some dynamicism in the action sequences. Some people watching Bulletproof may find these things, and I do respect that, however for me what I found here was the complete opposite on all counts. I really didn't care for any of the characters, finding them clichéd and annoying, especially Sandler's character. In fact, I found myself rooting more for the villains, but wished there was more to them. Bulletproof just wasn't funny to me either, I love action movies with comedy when it is good, but apart from one or two mildly amusing parts the dialogue was corny and the jokes rather tasteless. There is nothing dynamic about the action sequences, they may be slickly shot but the way they are choreographed at times is inept and the complete lack of subtlety in the violence leaves a bad taste in the mouth afterwards. The story is predictable with very little coming across as truly thrilling, while all the performances fall flat. Sandler has definitely done worse and more irritating performances, but his performance consists of near-unintelligible mumbling and I found myself annoyed by his character right from the start. Damon Wayans fares better, having more charisma, but the dialogue is so lame, the chemistry between him and Sandler so forced and the character so clichéd, it comes across as a wasted effort. James Caan is a great actor, but the first thought that came into my head after finishing Bulletproof was, what on earth was he doing here? He tried, but deserved so much better. Overall, a movie I wanted to like, but apart from one or two small things it didn't deliver. 1/10 Bethany Cox

This movie was hilarious. i don't know how come it's got such a low rating. It's a comedy, it's not supposed to make you think about the meaning of life, but to make you laugh. And if you didn't laugh watching it..you have some serious problems..Or you are more than 75 and shouldn't watch it cuz u might get a heart attack . Anyway, besides Adam Sandler, the dog does an excellent job, especially at playing drunk when Adam Sandler gets busted by the cops on the highway. It's not as stupid as waterboy, Sandler doesn't act that stupid. It might actually be my favorite Adam Sandler movie, but it still has to compete with Anger Management and Happy Gilmore. And if we can rule out Happy Gilmore, Anger Management is another freaking hilarious movie.. Difficult choice. But i recommend it to every Adam Sandler fan who hasn't seen it yet. And to everybody else that enjoys a good laugh. If you can't laugh, don't bother to register and vote. You'll ruin it.
