Except that Fa Ge is too ordinary

"Bulletproof Monk" is an action science fiction film directed by Paul Hunter, adapted from the comic of the same name, starring Chow Yun-fat, Jamie King, Sean William Scott and others. It tells the story of a tantric monk who was responsible for protecting the ancient mysterious scrolls and how to find a successor.

For Fa Ge and foreign handsome boy, I reluctantly gave a three-star.
There is no outstanding martial arts design, no surprising plot turning, and of course no unique interpretation of human nature, lifelike details of life, the whole film whizzes through mediocrity.
The above is the evaluation given by the Beijing Youth Daily. I think it is appropriate, very objective, and my impression.
The overall film doesn't feel like the type I like.

Bulletproof Monk quotes

  • [Monk puts some ointment on Kar's hand]

    Kar: Hey, I like this. It's cool. It's comfy. It's fast acting. This stuff is great. What is it?

    Monk With No Name: Homemade. From my own urine.

    [Kar sniffs his hand]

    Kar: That's disgusting!

  • Kar: The reason hot dogs come in packages of ten but hot dog buns come in packages of just eight is so you'll always need more buns for your hot dogs. Because no matter how much you get, how much you achieve, how many times you win... You can never, ever let yourself feel like it's enough.

    [Later on]

    Kar: So, I figured it out. Why hot dogs come in packages of ten and hot dog buns come in packages of eight. See, the thing is, life doesn't always work out according to plan. So be happy with what you've got, because you can always get a hot dog.
