Silly...fun, but silly., 7 May 2003

Author: TheBabblingFool
from Middletown MD, USA

Bulletproof Monk has a plot
like it is the Indiana Jones of martial art flicks. You have a monk that is
chosen every 60 years to protect a scroll that will give anyone who reads it
invincible. The film revolves around The Monk with No Name (Chow) trying to
find a new chosen one (Scott) while avoiding a nazi super-villain that he
incountered 60 years ago.

The film is more of a comedy than an action film and Sean William Scott and
Chow Yun Fat play off each other well in a world where they are chased by nazis
and run into characters like a British guy named Mr. Funktastic. Sean plays a
goofy pickpocket well and Chow is excellent as a calm, smug, nameless
monk...then again Chow has always been good at acting smug. Of course there has
to be a leading lady and Jamie King is as good looking as they come and plays
her character well.

The action all involves wire-fu, like that as seen in "Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon", but not as dynamic. Since most of the characters are new
to martial arts the fights are a little slow but entertaining and lighthearted
none the less.

Bulletproof Monk could have been a lot better than it is, with a little more
time spent on it, but as it is it is a silly amusing film, which kept me
entertained for an hour and a half. I recommend it to martial art flick
junkies.
