This is one piece of derivative, hokey, and really stupid action drivel.

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.

An enticing title that perfectly sets up our anticipation for a rollicking martial-arts comic-book fable adventure.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but "Bulletproof Monk" is a rather large piece of garbage.

The fight scenes are routine, the humor juvenile, and the Toronto locales rendered drab through muddy cinematography.

[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 if it's all tricks of camerawork.

The constantly beaming monk is as good-natured as the script is mindless.

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