Critic Reviews

Desson Thomson

You judge a movie by its own standards, right? Bulletproof, starring Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler, is rambunctious, crude, ridiculous, violent and -- incidentally -- very funny. Read full review

Roger Ebert

That it works as well as it does is because the stars, Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler, have an easy rapport and some good one-liners, and the film is short and manic. Read full review

John Anderson

Directed by Ernest Dickerson, the film looks fine, as one might expect, but isn't particularly funny and often makes no sense. Read full review

Leonard Klady

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. Read full review

Mike Clark

Bulletproof is both offensive and depressing, from its sociopathic mix of graphic violence and slapstick to its severe career blighting of the once-formidable Ernest Dickerson. [6 Sept 1996, p.3D]

Lisa Schwarzbaum

Universal should have marketed this formulaic drivel as the taboo love story it really is, and then watched its stars run for cover. Read full review

Rick Gershman

It's too easy to say that only fans of Adam Sandler and Damon Wayans should consider seeing Bulletproof, since it would be excruciating to anyone else. It's also unfair, because those fans would be better served to respectively watch "Happy Gilmore" or "The Last Boy Scout" another time than suffer through this latest - and possibly all-time worst - entry in the buddy-action-comedy genre. [7 Sept 1996, p.2B]

Really funny. Adam Sandler again just cracks me up. I like the storyline to the movie too. To the Rock and Archie show.

Underrated tbh. This movie is great. The back and forth is really funny. The scene where Adam is singing in the shower is funny.

Bulletproof is just a typical Adam Sandler movie, which in terms of a perfomance was alright but it's very entertaining and watchable, yes there is some cringy moment and meh moment, but Bulletproof is still fill with a good comedy, it's funny and entertaining, it's a movie that you justBulletproof is just a typical Adam Sandler movie, which in terms of a perfomance was alright but it's very entertaining and watchable, yes there is some cringy moment and meh moment, but Bulletproof is still fill with a good comedy, it's funny and entertaining, it's a movie that you just need to enjoyed it.… Expand

Bulletproof had a Martin Scorsese if he made comedy movies vibe to it, but it's decent.
