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

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

[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.

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.

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

Violent but cool martial arts movie.

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

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