The criminal activity onscreen in Bulletproof is penny ante compared with the felonious slaughter of story, character and logic exacted by the pic's filmmakers.

A tiresome Sandler-Wayans buddy-buddy crime actioner that needs its staid material to be desperately riddled with bullets.

It's not a great movie, but it is an adequate late summer diversion.

Fairly weak "buddy" pic with both actors playing below par.

Midnight Run did it best; 48 hours runs a fair second. Bulletproof finishes way back in the pack.

It's incredible how botched the script is. Not only are the twists predictable and tired, they also don't make any sense.
