A none-too-bright criminal, Archie Moses (Adam Sandler) works for drug kingpin Frank Colton (James Caan) and remains oblivious to the fact that one of his closest buddies is actually an undercover police officer named Jack Carter (Damon Wayans). After Moses accidentally shoots Carter, the cop must recover and then bring the two-bit thug in to take the stand against Colton. With Carter and Moses on far from good terms, however, the trip does not go well.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

In addition to its ability to deflect gunfire, Bulletproof proves sadly impervious to humor, logic, or worthwhile viewing.

Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: D Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Leonard Klady Variety 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. Jun 1, 2008 Full Review Keith Simanton Film.com 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. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a forgettable actioner that consistently wastes the talents of its two stars. Rated: 2/4 Jun 5, 2011 Full Review TV Guide Bring back Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy, please!

Kaylee G I feel like this movie could have been really good with a better script and a slower pace. It felt like a lot of jumping really quickly from one scene to another. There were some very funny moments but most of the dialogue was lacking and the story felt rushed. Its definitely older (slightly offensive) comedy Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review larrykohut L Bulletproof starring Adam Sandler and Damon Wayans . The movie is about two best friends in a town hanging out together. But little does one of the guys know that 1 is a criminal and the other is a cop. Adam Sandler plays the criminal and Damon Wayans plays the cop. Once he finds out his friend is actually a criminal he wants to arrest him but things get really heated when a group of men want his friend/ criminal friend dead . So he ends up having to protect him and his life from the thugs as well as himself. This movie is a decent Adam Sandler movie. But it's not for children . It's one of the rare occasions where it's not a straight up comedy film but more an comedy / action crime film . Christian perspective/ parents guide Violence lots of shooting in this movie some fighting and chase scenes in this film as well . Punching in this film and hand to hand combat . Running and fleeing as well. Language many gd words said and one or two Jesus Christ profanities . Hell and damn are said as well as the f word and s words. B word said once or twice in the movie Sex/ a topless woman in one particular scene and 3 gay jokes mentioned in the movie but that's about it for sexual content . nudity a topless woman shown in 1 scene. Drug references light drug references involving talk about drugs and narcotics . Heroine mentioned and weed. Possibly some smoking of cigarettes in the film . 3 stars for this film it's a decent watch but not mind blowing . Also theres some contest that may offend Christian viewers .or Christian parents in general. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/10/23 Full Review Elizjah R Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler had great chemistry I recommend watching it's underrated Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/17/23 Full Review Albert R This is the hidden gem of Adam Sandler's movies. How does it have such a low score? 8%? There's waaaaay worse movies than this that have better ratings. It makes no sense. Fantastic action buddy comedy and both leads are fantastic with a ton of great jokes. Don't let that bs rating turn you off from seeing this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/23 Full Review TheGladman1000 Very Underrated Sandler movie him and Wayans have chemistry - funny and decent action although far fetched but what do you expect from a plot with this guys. seeing James Caan in his role after being familiar with his character in ELF is actually hilarious too- and a great soundtrack! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Steve D Nothing about it works, especially Sandler. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
