February 13, 2012I felt a stabbing pain watching this movie. I had dark hole expectations watching it and I was still dissapointed. Bulletproof Monk is the biggest Americanisation of the eastern action movie i've ever seen. Seann William Scott has only ever been funny in Role Models. Yung kicks a... read more

May 28, 2010What a weird movie, it's a modern kung-fu fantasy/comedy. While that's pretty brave to attempt to make that plot work, it just wasn't executed properly and it just didn't have enough personality. I think what makes it work the most is the buddy cop antics between Seann William Sc... read more

March 10, 2010fb733768972I really enjoyed this corny action movie, and I wish that it was longer than it was, and improved on it's little flaws, because I really wanted to love this one, but I still really liked it!

October 2, 2009What a load of bollocks. I quite like the idea and I really liked Chow Yun Fat in it but the direction, acting and supporting cast are all awful. This is a wasted opportunity, made by complete idiots!

July 28, 2008I expected this to be at least entertaining but it's pure crap in every aspect, Such a waste of time

June 25, 2008The usual east meets west action comedy. Inventive fight sequences just about outweigh the predictable culture confusion jokes. Chow Yun Fat is superb, relishing every moment of comedy and action he is handed. From his facial expressions to his delivery of the lines he gets the r... read more

January 22, 2008A tremendously exciting and adreniline-pumping action-packed adventure filled with breathtaking martial arts sequences and teriffic humor. Sean William Scott and Chow Yun-fat are fantastic, they have such compelling chemistry that shows in their performances developing a great se... read more

They made a ton of junky movies in Hong Kong, but those were dazzlingly fluid and high-flying junky movies. This American retread has the same sort of hack plot but none of the bravura. Full Review

[T]he thing about the martial arts sequences -- you've got the great Chow Yun-Fat, but this thing is directed MTV style: cut here, cut there, close-up. So we can't really tell if he's doing stunts or ... Full Review

One of those motley movies that borrows from just about everywhere.

Model-turned-actress Jaime King changed her first name (from James) to star in Bulletproof Monk. Given her performance, she might have to enter the witness-protection program.

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
The movie mixes dull dialogue, martial arts wire work and half-baked approximations of Eastern philosophy, some shallow enough to make the average fortune cookie seem profound.

[A] lightweight but delightful martial-arts romp.
