The fight scenes are routine, the humor juvenile, and the Toronto locales rendered drab through muddy cinematography.

Top CriticIt's painful to watch.

Chow was never a martial arts star back home, but he's a good enough actor -- and an engaging enough personality -- to pass for one here.

… bringing music-video director Paul Hunter was a good move for pacing, but he could use a few lessons in filming fight scenes.

The bottom line is, this qualifies as a guilty pleasure.

Chow Yun-Fat delivers stylish action and finally shows American audiences a sense of humor, but watching Stifler get his kung fu on is just a little too hard to swallow.

An uneasy combination of self-help bromides, poorly edited fight sequences and music video-style flash.

. . . a mishmash of B-movie clichés and horribly shot sequences assembled as a pre-emptive strike on the summer movie season which instead lands clumsily in theatres as a forgettable diversion. . .

While some of the buddy sequences between Monk and Kar have a sweetness to them, as soon as Jade gets into the mix it turns sour.

Bulletproof Monk proposes that the enlightenment of Tibetan monks can be sucked out of their heads by the same method that our collective energy is harnessed by the Matrix. Hmph.
