Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Python Hyena Bulletproof (1996): Dir: Ernest Dickerson / Cast: Damon Wayans, Adam Sandler, James Caan, Kristen Wilson, James Farentino: Here is yet another rehash of what has been done countless times before. Title represents a relationship that has gone through tremendous difficulty due to broken trust and lifestyles. It stars Damon Wayans as an undercover cop who grows fond of a street criminal, played by Adam Sandler until he is discovered wired. Police invade the location and bullets fly and Sandler accidentally shoots Wayans in the head in an attempt to escape. He recovers in the hospital with a metal plate in his head then he is assigned to transport Sandler until a parade of bullets intercede leaving them as lone survivors. The rest is formula with an ending similar to that of The Rock. Basically a series of corny situations to test Wayans's tolerance of Sandler. Directed by Ernest Dickerson who previously made the controversial Juice, and here does his best with the stale material. Wayans and Sandler travel material that nearly every buddy comedy duo sets foot on. James Caan is typecast as the villain. Kristen Wilson is also wasted, as is James Farentino as Wayans's superior officer who orders the transfer. Typical buddy comedy that is hardly bulletproof. Perhaps the best idea would be to use this film as target practice just to see whether its title stands. Score: 3 / 10
FlashCallahan Rock Keats and Archie Moses are best friends and have spent the past year together performing various small time crimes. This all changes when they become involved in a major drug smuggling operation. Rock Keats turns out to be Jack Carter, an undercover police officer and tries to arrest Moses during a failed attempt to catch criminal mastermind Frank Colton. However, Moses ends up shooting Carter and makes an escape. Moses is later caught and agrees to turn state's evidence on Colton with one condition, Carter escorts him in. When they meet, both are bitter towards each other. Unknown to them, Colton's men have orders to take out Moses and arrive to shoot down the transport plane. Carter and Moses end up by themselves in the countryside with Colton's men closing in.........Back in 1996, Wayans was bigger than Sandler, but it was already changing, Wayans had a string of flops and Sandler had just done Billy Madison.Wayans got top billing, and this is probably why it flopped big time.But it's a really fun easy going movie at a running time that couldn't offend anybody. It a load of old cobblers plot wise, and the buddy buddy thing was dying a death, but the two leads are amiable enough and Caan wasn't too bad as the villain.It's not very memorable though, and it's full of clichés, but for Sandler fans and Wayans fans, this will suffice.
Michael_Elliott 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.
defbest 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.
