It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This movie is about friendship and betrayal. Both of the major characters in this movie are betrayed by their closest friends, and come to understand what it is really like to be betrayed. One of them is an undercover cop while the other is a criminal, but also quite timid, but has joined forces, and then earned the emnity, of a major drug lord.The movie opens with the cop and Archie Moses as best friends stealing a car, but we quickly learn that the cop is an undercover cop who is trying to bust a drug dealer who owns a huge car dealership. Moses then brings the cop to the factory and it is discovered that he is a cop and the police raid the place. The cop wants to protected Archie, but due to an accident, Archie shoots him in the head. Months later, the cop has fallen in love with his therapist and Archie is running from the drug lord. He is found by the police but requests that this cop return and escort him back.There isn't much to say about this movie other than how they begin as best friends, but after the truth is revealed, Archie cannot trust him anymore. The cop in upset because Archie shot him, but does not want to believe that it was an accident. We also know that somebody else is tipping them off, but we do not know who, but the movie is about the friend's betrayal, and is summed up in Archie's comment to the cop, "now you know how it feels to be betrayed by a friend." The drug lord is interesting because he also owns a used car yard and we always see his advertisement on television. It is as if this guy is flaunting himself in front of everybody, and those who know the truth about him are frustrated because they cannot get at him. Archie has the evidence, but the guy wants Archie dead because of his relationship with the cop.This is not a bad movie, but Adam Sandler has done far better. It is not really a comedy, more of an action movie, and though Sandler does act weirdly, this movie does not stand out in my opinion.

This is interesting case. The thrillers with 2 totally discordant partners are quite familiar since the start of the 1980s. The formula got (Lethal Weapon) in 1987, then the sequel in 1989, where the sense of comedy was so lucid, as semi-iconic example for the buddy movie which was all over the place during that era.Once we've had 2 actors whom can do comedy (Lethal Weapon), one actor and one comedian (48 Hours), one actor to be comic and one comedian to act (Midnight Run), or 2 comedians yet into comedy (Dragnet). Here, despite how poor the atmosphere was, the main problem remains in casting strangely 2 "comic" tiny stars, at the time, to be the lead of what supposed to be a thriller. And the personality of the movie went wrong since that. You can't settle.. Is that a slapstick comedy, or a violent thriller ?? I was really sad because of the potentials of this hot plot, they're totally wasted.Despite the efforts (Damon Waynes) with the beard made to look serious but sorry that was in the wrong place, he was mostly cool but everything wasn't. (Adam Sandler) looked tepid or slack and relied only on his funny charisma to do the whole thing for him. (James Cann) must've needed money hard, but not to wonder because after watching him in (Alien Nation - 1988) I became convinced that I can see him in anything ! At least he had not much to do. Furthermore, some slight provocative moments: (Waynes) and (Sandler) escape from the police station after threatening the whole department so dozens of policemen run after them, and THEN they're both enjoying their time in a strip club !!?? There is some excessive buffoonery also, to have that tense between being a comedy and a thriller. The direction is idealistically not cinematic, handling the mission like a TV episode, or a sitcom.. A boring serious one too. All the scenes suffered of zero budget so the word poor came with so many meanings here. Look at the deadly climax (shame to call it one in the first place) to know exactly what I mean. Basically there are better straight-to-video movies than this one ! (Kristen Wilson) was the only "pretty" thing in here yet as the plot's potentials both were lost.So it's the case of a thriller comedy which having the comedians as Action heroes, with destitute action, and even off-color comedy ! It is interesting indeed as a perfect type for a formula with a disorder. It could've been good though, but in another movie. Generally, I can be wrong to say that it wasn't entertaining, but I can be fair to say it was lowly entertaining.

The criminals Rock Keats (Damon Wayans) and Archie Moses (Adam Sandler) are best friends and have been stealing cars together for one year. Archie invites Rock to join the gang of the drug lord Frank Colton (James Caan) without knowing that Rock is indeed the undercover detective Jack Carter, assigned to get evidences against Frank. During the police raid against a heroin shipping of Frank, Archie accidentally shoots Jack in his head. Once recovered, Jack declares Archie his enemy, and arrests him. But the former mates have to join forces against Frank's gangsters and many dirty cops."Bulletproof" is a very funny police story, with a great timing and pace. There is a great chemistry between Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler, the good story has many twists and jokes, the cast is charming, especially the gorgeous Kristen Wilson and this is the second time that I watch this film and I still like it. This movie seems to be underrated in IMDb, with some very unfair reviews, and it is a great entertainment. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "À Prova de Balas"("Bulletproof")

I'm not a big fan of Adam Sandler and I normally don't appreciate all those buddy / action comedies. But I have to admit that this movie wasn't even the worst in the genre. Yes from time to time it can even be quite enjoyable. However, there's already a huge list of this kind of movies and "Bulletproof" certainly isn't the best of them either. Damon Wayans is an undercover cop who works with an unsuspecting criminal, played by Adam Sandler, to catch the big boss of a drug cartel. What happens next is a mix of a lot of action and some fun parts. The action sequences are nice to watch, but not every joke in this movie works very well. Still, in the end it isn't too bad, but like many action comedies, this one is very predictable and sometimes also very much over-the-top. I guess this movie will be loved most by the people who like the genre or by the great fans of Sandler's work. Since I don't belong to any of these two groups, I give it only a 5.5/10.
