Bulletproof

Plot synopsis:
Archie Moses (Adam Sandler) is a small time crook and thief who lives in Los Angeles, and he is working for a local drug lord Frank Colton (James Caan). He is unaware that his best friend Rock Keats (Damon Wayans) is actually an LAPD undercover cop, whose real name is Jack Carter, and who's seeking evidence against Colton, and he is trying to infiltrate Colton's gang.One night, Jack goes out with Moses and gets him drunk, and manages to get info from Moses, and he finds an address for one of Colton's fronts. During a raid on Colton's warehouse, Archie realizes that Jack is a cop, and he tries to escape the warehouse during the police raid, during which an out of control crane hits Moses in the back and he accidentally shoots Jack in the head, but he miraculously survives and makes a full recovery with the aid of his physical therapist Dr. Traci Flynn (Kristen Wilson). Moses then flees the state, and is subsequently found and arrested later on. Moses is brought into custody, and he agrees to testify against Colton, but the trial is at the other side of the country. After Jack's recovery, his superior officer Jensen (James Farentino) orders him to get Moses to transfer him personally to the courtroom.Having been bitter about the accident, Carter harbors resentment against Moses, and problems get escalated since a simple transfer has gone awry when Colton learns through bribed federal agents and Los Angeles Police Department officers of Moses's attempt to testify against Colton. Carter and Moses slowly mend their friendship and are successful in returning back to their local police department. However, Colton apparently holds Flynn hostage, and blackmails Carter into turning Moses over in order to save Flynn. Carter and Moses pretend to comply with Colton and shoot their way through Colton's guards. It is later revealed that Flynn was responsible for leaking Carter and Moses's whereabouts to Colton and was actually on Colton's payroll. Carter manages to distract Colton after Moses gets shot in the shoulder by Colton and after apprehending Flynn and Moses manages to kill Colton. Moses gives the incriminating documents on Colton to Carter, and he heads to Mexico, where he becomes a bullfighter, with Carter and Moses's mother later accompanying him.

Review:
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.
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.
I think Archie Moses was a cute and fun character(especially when he used this Budweiser dog as a hostage and then out of guilt he lets the mutt go).I also love it when he and Keats are at each others throats one minute and then best buds the next.
Though I like action, and I like comedy, I just don't find the sight of people being bloodily blown away hilarious, as this movie seems to think.
Bulletproof is one of the funniest and action filled movies I have ever seen in a long time, and Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler are a great team, and James Caan is also good as the drug boss Frank Colton.
I think Bulletproof may be a better movie than Billy Madison, but outside that it's the worst Adam Sandler movie yet.
It seems that for some reason this year this movie was overlooked, maybe because of Happy Gilmore, which is a possibility.Definitely one of the better action/comedies of the 90's, as you can see I feel strongly about it.
Wayans and Sandler are funny and talented - but not in this movie.
And remember, 1996 was the year that the word "blockbuster" was defined by unwatchable schlock such as Independence Day and Twister.Jack Keats (Damon Wayons) is an undercover cop posing as a car thief in order to get information from a real car thief, Archie Moses (Adam Sandler).
This movie seems to be going for the buddy/road film angle, with the exception of the fact that Keats and Moses run into a series of attempts on their lives since Colton, the big drug kingpin, is out to kill them both.
i liked this movie a lot, it was probably one of my favorite adam sandler movies of all time, it was funny and exciting, the acting wasn't the best but it was still a good movie and i hope anyone who hasn't seen it watches it,its a great movie for everyone i give it a 9/10.
Stuck somewhere in-between action, comedy, and drama, Wayans and Sandler seem awkward delivering more "seriously- based lines" instead of their usual off-beat quips.
Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler team up in this film about betrayal, loyalty, friendship, and getting a gun in your a**.
I actually found some scenes funny, but this type of film isn't really made for Sandler (or Wayans for that matter).
I wont waste time going through the plot, but it was pretty good for an action movie.
Now, seeing as I barely saw it, when it compares to other Adam Sandler movies made after it, its not that great.
Not only was this a bad action movie, but it was a bad Adam Sandler movie (Hey, that's a little bit redundant, isn't it?) But what I really wondered is why James Caan wasted his time in it.
Why would a great actor who played in the Godfather movies want to embarrass himself in such trash?Sandler plays a conman who unknowingly befriends a cop, played by Damon Waynes.
Starring Adam Sandler and Damon Wayans, the former a criminal, the latter a cop, plot sees the mismatched pair thrust together to bring down a criminal kingpin (James Caan).
Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler were pretty good buddies.
This is definetly Adam Sandler and Damoin Wayan's best movie yet.
This is about two friends, Rock Keates(Damon) and Archie Moses(Adam).
The first 30 mins of this buddy buddy movie are great, minimal dialogue, plenty of action, and a real sense of fun and energy.However, and perhaps by no coincidence, as the plane they're travelling in nosedives, so does the script, the direction, and the pacing, and up pops just way too much infantile dialogue by Adam Sandler.If you can imagine Lethal Weapon but with dialogue for pubescent boys, this is what you get.Wayans is great but the miscasting of the highly immature Sandler ruins it.
Bulletproof is a Fun Movie with nice Action Scenes ,Funny Jokes and a Great Buddy Duo with Adam Sandler and Damon Wayans.
It's a Fun Movie and clearly one of the best Roles from Adam Sandler.
The buddy cop action comedy is well known and has produced several great films for decades.
I may not follow Adam Sandler career from the start but back in the day whenever I see Adam Sandler on TV I know I'm in for a good time and today for me is a pretty damn boring day so I decided to watch a Adam Sandler flick and Bulletproof directed by Ernest R.
I love action comedy movie no matter how bad it is but only when the actor committed to their role while in Bulletproof case I don't think Adam Sandler care about his role at all when not once that I buy him at the wisecrack convict Moses or find him remotely funny.
Damon Wayans is passable as the hard-ass cop Keats and there enough action for me to not hate myself for watching this movie but in the end it still the most unfunny Adam Sandler movie that I ever watch..
Years later the two are forced to work together when Keats is assigned to protect Moses as a witness.This film has an 8% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on reviews from 39 critics.
Also, Adam Sandler earned a Razzie Award nomination for Worst Actor for the film (also for "Happy Gilmore", which is actually entertaining).
The soured friendship between a former undercover cop and a car thief he befriended causes tension when the cop has to escort his old buddy across the country in this action comedy starring Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler.
The supporting cast is colourful with James Caan making a cunning villain and Jeep Swenson memorable as his body builder henchman, though the supporting player who gets the best moments is an uncredited dog, especially funny in the final scene.
The comedy does not always work, with Sandler's commentary while watching an adult movie simply lame, but the film more often than not has a laugh a minute ratio.
Adam Sandler does it again, with another fun movie!
This was Adam Sandler's first attempt at making a more serious role.But it's a really fun easy going movie at a running time that couldn't offend anybody.
Rock Keats (Damon Wayans) and Archie Moses (Adam Sandler) are petty criminals and best friends.
It turns out that Keats is undercover cop Jack Carter working for a year to take down crime boss Frank Coltan (James Caan).
Jack and Archie are not happy with each other but are forced to work together when Coltan's men come after them.This is trying to be 48 Hrs. with Wayans and Sandler.
I don't like angry Wayans and Sandler gets more annoying as the movie goes on.
When the pickup turns into an ambush, Carter and Moses go on the run, unsure of who they can trust.Like so many other comedians, Adam Sadler had a stab at a cross over from out and out comedy into action by way of a standard buddy cop action movie.
Wilson looks good but her character is just stupid for so many reasons.Overall this is poor even by the pretty low standards of Hollywood buddy cop movies.
My age: 13Keats, played by Damon Wayans, and Archie Moses, played by Adam Sandler, are the best of friends and have been for a year.
What Moses doesn't know is that Keats is really Jack Carter, an undercover cop, who is waiting for the right time to bust Moses and Frank Colton, a major criminal who Moses is involved with.
Carter has to stay alive as well as take Moses in.A fairly average action-comedy, Bulletproof has a fair plot but a lot of the film is just plain stupid.
Not being a good fan of either Adam Sandler or Damon Wayans, I found the acting and therefore, the characters, well below par.
It might actually be my favorite Adam Sandler movie, but it still has to compete with Anger Management and Happy Gilmore.
An Action/Comedy all the way through with the two most clever and talented comedians Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler.
I recommend it to people who love action/comedy movies and who support and love the two main actors.
What had the potential to be a pretty good action/comedy ultimately becomes a mess of a film.
It's so poor that apart from an entertaining setup the movie becomes almost painful to watch.The movie stars Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler as an undercover cop and an unsuspecting criminal respectively.
Wayans, whose first film was the glorious "Roxanne," still knows his comedy -- it's just rather unfortunate that he has lowered his standards so far as to appear in low-grade trash such as this.Sandler, who is occasionally funny in the right role ("Happy Gilmore," also released in 1996, is great), gives one of his worst performances here.
How humorous.Jack Keats (Wayans), who is doing undercover work and posing as a criminal to lure his way into a crime underworld with the help of unsuspecting partner Archie Moses (Sandler).
This is an awesome comedy starring Adam Sandler, who is ALWAYS fun to watch and Damon Wayans who I can stand.
With Adam Sandler pretty 'hot' comedy property at the moment, this movie must be a bit of a sleeper.
I'm not a big fan of Adam Sandler and I normally don't appreciate all those buddy / action comedies.
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.
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.
Is Adam Sandler in an action movie?
Is Adam Sandler in an action movie?
I think Adam Sandler and his films are really underrated...
I thought the acting in this film was fairly good, as were the action sequences.
It starred Adam Sandler and Damon Wayans, with James Caan in a supporting role.
Note also a small part for Monica Potter, seen in Con Air and that other movie she was in.Bulletproof struck just the right cord between action, comedy and even a bit of drama, as the relationship between Wayans and Sandler changed,developed and grew.Right, enough of the fairly serious review, on with the funny lines:"Diisnneeyyyylaaand" " I'm gonna get a whole farm to pi** on you " " Hey Charlie, do you whack off a lot?" " Please take that outta my a**!
Here Sandler and his co-star Damon Wayans play Archie Moses and Rock Keats two best friends, who have spent a year together together performing small time criminal acts.
There is no better duo to find today as far as fun is concerned than Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler.
Dodging Colton's hired assassins, the duo must overcome their mutual hatred to survive.Adam Sandler's films are usually a hit-&-miss affair, with his comedies either loved by his fans or hated by everyone.
The direction is incredibly patchy, with fast-paced action sequences giving way to slow comic exchanges between Sandler & Damon Wayans.
Bulletproof (1996) *** (out of 4) After agreeing to testify against a drug lord (James Caan), lowlife Moses (Adam Sandler) ends up with the undercover cop (Damon Wayans) that originally busted him.
The two actors really make you believe their characters and this allows the situation to be funny and especially in the scenes where Wayans pretty much abuses Sandler over the issue that happened at the start of the film.
BULLETPROOF also contains some fun action scenes, is well-directed and really just delivers nice laughs..
I actually wanted to like Bulletproof, despite my general dislike for Adam Sandler, because I like buddy movies and James Caan is a great actor.
Bulletproof just wasn't funny to me either, I love action movies with comedy when it is good, but apart from one or two mildly amusing parts the dialogue was corny and the jokes rather tasteless.
Damon Wayans fares better, having more charisma, but the dialogue is so lame, the chemistry between him and Sandler so forced and the character so clichéd, it comes across as a wasted effort.
Funny, amusing and just darn watchable comedy about two crooks (Sandler and Wayans) who have to do a job for a kingpin (James Caan).
In the endless list of cop buddy action comedies, BULLETPROOF is definitely not the best, but its a very enjoyable film.
The two stars Wayans and Sandler are very good together, and there are plenty of shootouts and chases that are fun to watch.
Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler, what a great idea for a movie.
Yes, it had some good action here and there, and I will admit, there were about two scenes that I laughed my butt off for the longest time...but the rest of the movie was very disapointing.
At any rate, not a bad time waster, and not a bad movie...just lower expectations once you realize both Wayans and Sandler, two talented actors/comedians are in it.
Not one of Adam Sandler's best movies.
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..
Bulletproof is one of those movies that the critics are obviously going to give a blow and thumbs down, but in reality, I really had a good time watching Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler dodging bullets, cussing each other out, just basically getting on each others nerves.An undercover cop named Rock Keates (Damon Wayans) is planning to arrest long time friend Archie Moses (Adam Sandler) on drug accounts.
After the plane crashes in the desert, Keates and Moses annoy each other the whole way down.Damon Wayans (My Wife and Kids) and Adam Sandler (Big Daddy) star in this hilarious comedy that will have you laughing!.
The best thing I can say about the movie is that the dog in it is cute.The most disturbing sequence is in the middle of the film when Moses (Sandler) and Carter (Wayans) decide to stop off at a hunting lodge/motel.
It all reeks of school boy humour about homosexuality - horrified and titillated all at the same time - which I don't find funny at all.I have a friend who is always raving about Adam Sandler movies.
Damon Wayans is an undercover cop and Adam Sandler is the guy he pretended to be friends with for a year in order to bust him.
They end up on the run and of course they become friends again after a big misunderstanding (involving Sandler shooting Wayans in the head - he survives thus he is Bulletproof).
Bulletproof (1996): Dir: Ernest Dickerson / Cast: Damon Wayans, Adam Sandler, James Caan, Kristen Wilson, James Farentino: Here is yet another rehash of what has been done countless times before.
It stars Damon Wayans as an undercover cop who grows fond of a street criminal, played by Adam Sandler until he is discovered wired.
Basically in Los Angeles, small time crook and thief Archie Moses (Razzie nominated Adam Sandler) works for local drug dealer Frank Colton (James Caan), he is unaware that his best friend Rock Keats, real name Jack Carter (Damon Wayans), is in fact an undercover LAPD cop, who is seeking evidence against Colton, he befriended Moses to infiltrate Colton's gang.
Also starring Jeep Swenson as Bledsoe, Larry McCoy as Detective Sulliman, Allen Covert as Detective Jones, Sister Act's Bill Nunn as Finch, Patch Adams' Monica Potter as Biker's Woman and Homeland's Maury Sterling as Skinny Guy. Wayans and Sandler are not highly convincing as the former friends fallen out and slowly building bridges, Caan gets a short time as the crime lord, the performances are mostly annoying, this has a pretty lame and predictable script and storyline, the jokes aren't all that funny, the violence is relatively okay, and the only dynamic moments are the shooting sequences and some chases, but all in all it was a rather dull action comedy.
Watching the new disposable Ernest Dickerson action-comedy "Bulletproof," a cops and robbers buddy picture with Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler as the buds, is like munching great junk food.
As Detective Keats, Damon Wayans is cast as an undercover cop who convinces Moses (Adam Sandler's dopey but likable criminal blunder brain) that he is his best friend.
Rock Keats and Archie Moses are best friends and have spent the past year together performing various small time crimes.
Adam Sandler at his best in his best movie yet!
Rock Keats and Archie Moses are the best of friends and have spent the past year together performing various small time criminal acts.
Will they survive?...will their friendship?This movie has it all fantastic Storyline, Fantastic Actors and Fantastic Action & Comedy.
