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.
Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
The movie has a smirking homophobic bent and never makes you care or believe in the characters as much as in the first fifteen minutes.
Keith Simanton, Film.com
Rotten
The audience is subjected to an onslaught of unfunny jokes, a string of useless profanity, and more explosive squibs than Caan wore in The Godfather.
Sean Means, Film.com
Rotten
While some of the humor is very funny, there's nothing remotely interesting about the action stuff.
