Bulletproof
Proven pulpmeister Ernest Dickerson falters with this Damon Wayans/Adam Sandler action-comedy vehicle that blatantly apes the male-bonding films of Hong Kong directors John Woo and Ringo Lam. Undercover cop Wayans gains crook Sandler's confidence and then arrests him, but their friendship proves stronger than the betrayal. Action sequences are passable, the comedy mostly dopey. Pictured: David Labiosa, Wayans, and Sandler. (R; runs through Sept. 25) - Betsy Sherman
