Fun and entertaining. Don’t take it too seriously.
It was hard to watch this film and not compare some of the wild action/fight scenes with those in the Matrix or its over-hyped sequel. Whilst the scenes in BPM are not as polished or well done as those in the Matrix, they are entertaining enough and the choreography and use of props showed much more promise and imagination than those in the Wachowski Bros. productions (at least in regard to the Matrix Reloaded, anyhow).But this film did not receive the hype that TMR did and, consequently, my expectations of it were lower. As a result, I was not disappointed in BPM as I was with TMR. Sure, its all silliness, but at least it has the humour to go along with that silliness. In short, it doesn’t take itself too seriously, and neiither should the audience.
Chow-Yun Fat shows he can play non-serious roles and get away with it, and Sean William Scott shows he can do other parts away from American Pie and its teen comedy clones. But a particular joy to see in this film is the appearance of Mako, whom I haven’t seen much of in recent years. He only has a small role in this film, but he steals the show whenever he’s on screen.
The kung-fu isn’t quite as wild as Crouching Tiger’s flying escapades nor is the wire-work quite so obvious. All in all a fun movie that should be watched as it was intended, as sheer escapism.
There are a few bad points. Watch out for the villain at the end. He should get the “worst villain’s hairstyle” award for his mullet. That, and the ludicrous torture machine are the lighter negative aspects in an otherwise entertaining movie, and even they somehow just add to the fun. The only really dire moment is “Mr Funktastic’s” atrocious British accent/choice of language. There are some things Hollywood will NEVER get right!
So dumb. So fun.
There’s absolutely nothing special about the (not so subtly-titled) ‘Bulletproof Monk.’ In fact, the title should tell you everything you need to know about the film. However, just because it’s nothing out of the ordinary, doesn’t make it a bad film. In fact… it’s rather good fun (if you’re not expecting too much).Sean William Scott – better known as ‘Who?’ unless you’re watching an ‘American Pie’ movie, where he is – of course – ‘Stiffler.’ He is playing, er, ‘Stiffler’ basically, only he’s really good at martial arts and pickpocketing people. He ends up getting caught up in a plot by Nazis seeking immortality and has to help the titular ‘Bulletproof Monk’ (Chow Yun Fat) save the world from these out of time creeps.
This film was made back in 2003 and I’d love to say that, because of the time it was made, there was less CGI and more ‘practical’ effects. Yes, there are some practical effects (or should I say well-choreographed fight scenes), however a lot of the more ‘fantastical’ martial arts moves are all – very blatantly – filmed up against a blue screen. You may just have to forgive them for that.
So, you have plucky, wise-cracking hero, wise mentor, evil baddies and obligatory love interest (Jamie King). So, like I say, nothing you haven’t seen a hundred times before. It’s so run-of-the-mill that there’s not an awful lot else I can say about it. However, just because it doesn’t set the film-world alight in terms of originality, doesn’t mean that it isn’t enormous fun. But, if you like your modern martial arts films, or just need a relaxing little action flick to rest your brain to after a hard day’s work, then this should fit the bill.
