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.

Leonard Klady Variety 06/01/2008
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. Go to Full Review

The film's action elements are so preposterous that the sequence of events seems almost improvised. Go to Full Review

Az C Oct 12 Bulletproof is entertaining. It's not some amazing masterpiece by any stretch, but I think it deserves a watch if your looking for something light and mildly entertaining. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Apr 11 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajudou a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. See more Tyler M Dec 19 Funny and kept me engaged the whole time. Good cast. Goofy and kinda short but good movie over all See more Regal R 12/05/2024 67/100 - a bit fast paced but the simple plot is nostalgic comfort food. See more Kaylee G 03/16/2024 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 See more larrykohut L 10/10/2023 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. See more Read all reviews
