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.

Critics Consensus

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

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.

Bulletproof doesn't quite misfire, but it never hits its target either.

Wayans and Sandler remain watchable even when their quips sink like boulders in a swimming pool.

2.5/5

Bulletproof had an admirable concept and two terrific comedy stars, but the execution never lives up to the promise of pairing Adam Sandler and Damon Wayans.

...a forgettable actioner that consistently wastes the talents of its two stars.

No masterpiece, but it's funny and charming in a 90s kinda way.

I have watched this movie because of Adam sandler. And its dont deserve to be watched. Petty jokes, zero acting, story - whaaaat there is none. I guess it is made on those days when sandler became hit and they wanted to cash some money because of that.

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.

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.

67/100 - a bit fast paced but the simple plot is nostalgic comfort food.
