A throwback to when Adam Sandler was funny.

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

Bulletproof is watchable. Barely, maybe. Still ridiculous, obviously. But it is not nearly as excruciatingly awful as Sandler's prior movie sins.

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

While some of the humor is very funny, there's nothing remotely interesting about the action stuff.

Dickerson and screenwriter Joe Gayton have misguidedly tried to turn Wayans into a physical action star and evidently hoped that Sandler could act.

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.

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