Critics Consensus: Venerable action star Chow Yun-Fat is the only saving grace in this silly action flick that more often than not resembles a commercial in style.

The fight scenes are routine, the humor juvenile, and the Toronto locales rendered drab through muddy cinematography.
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.
They made a ton of junky movies in Hong Kong, but those were dazzlingly fluid and high-flying junky movies. This American retread has the same sort of hack plot but none of the bravura.
[T]he thing about the martial arts sequences -- you've got the great Chow Yun-Fat, but this thing is directed MTV style: cut here, cut there, close-up. So we can't really tell if he's doing stunts or if it's all tricks of camerawork.
One of those motley movies that borrows from just about everywhere.
Everything here is borrowed from other movies ...
basically Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon comes to New York
Not to put too fine a point on it, but "Bulletproof Monk" is a rather large piece of garbage.
Violent but cool martial arts movie.
This is one piece of derivative, hokey, and really stupid action drivel.
An enticing title that perfectly sets up our anticipation for a rollicking martial-arts comic-book fable adventure.
The constantly beaming monk is as good-natured as the script is mindless.
I felt a stabbing pain watching this movie. I had dark hole expectations watching it and I was still dissapointed. Bulletproof Monk is the biggest Americanisation of the eastern action movie i've ever seen. Seann William Scott has only ever been funny in Role Models. Yung kicks ass but unfortunately the rest doesn't. Especially the ridiculous non-existent plot.

What a weird movie, it's a modern kung-fu fantasy/comedy. While that's pretty brave to attempt to make that plot work, it just wasn't executed properly and it just didn't have enough personality. I think what makes it work the most is the buddy cop antics between Seann William Scott and Chow Yun Fat, aside from that it falls pretty flat.
I really enjoyed this corny action movie, and I wish that it was longer than it was, and improved on it's little flaws, because I really wanted to love this one, but I still really liked it!
even the title is so incredibly stupid
