This post-modern comic variation on The Defiant Ones concerns Keats (Damon Wayans), an undercover police detective trying to get the goods on crime kingpin Frank Colton (James Caan). Keats poses as a crook to make friends with one of Colton's underlings, a drug dealer and car thief named Archie Moses (Adam Sandler). Keats is using Archie as part of a sting operation to put Colton away; however, Archie doesn't care for this, and when he finds out Keats's true plan and actual identity, it leads to

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.
Bulletproof doesn't quite misfire, but it never hits its target either.
The movie has a smirking homophobic bent and never makes you care or believe in the characters as much as in the first fifteen minutes.
The audience is subjected to an onslaught of unfunny jokes, a string of useless profanity, and more explosive squibs than Caan wore in The Godfather.
While some of the humor is very funny, there's nothing remotely interesting about the action stuff.
The film's action elements are so preposterous that the sequence of events seems almost improvised.
...a forgettable actioner that consistently wastes the talents of its two stars.
Bring back Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy, please!
An entertaining little ditty that I enjoyed watching.
A throwback to when Adam Sandler was funny.
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.
Their friendship could survive anything... except each other! Good funny movie. The story was simple and easy to follow. Popcorn movie to enjoy at home alone or with your friends. Adam Sandler was very funny in this one as always.Rock Keats and Archie Moses are the best of friends and have spent the past year together

You know a film is bad when it becomes apparent that canned laughter would actually be beneficial. It's not funny, it's not clever, the editing is bizarre and quite frankly James Caan should be ashamed. It's odd, this film could only be enjoyed by people who are at least 10 years too young to see it legally. Avoid at
