Bullet Proof (2022)

Bullet Proof is the kind of lean, mean action thriller that doesn’t waste time clearing its throat—once the robbery goes sideways, it locks into a breathless chase and just keeps tightening the screws. Director James Clayton stages the mayhem with a gratifyingly physical, practical feel: crunchy stunts, close-quarters brawls, and gunplay that lands with impact instead of noise, all propelled by pacing that rarely lets you exhale. Vinnie Jones brings a cold, heavy presence as the pursuing kingpin, giving the film a nasty edge while the central pairing adds an unexpected human pressure-cooker to the getaway. If you’re looking for a nonstop, R-rated ride built more on momentum and action craft than deep character study, this one delivers exactly what it promises.

Bullet Proof is clearly aiming for a lean, pedal-to-the-floor chase thriller: one big robbery, one bad decision, and a relentless crime boss closing in. It delivers steady gunplay and a simple “keep moving or die” momentum, with Vinnie Jones bringing the kind of hard-edged menace this sort of movie needs. The trade-off is that the characters and twists are pretty thin, and the action can start to feel repetitive if you’re hoping for a smarter crime story or standout set pieces. If you just want a no-frills, violent B-movie sprint, it’ll do the job; if you need depth, originality, or emotional weight, you’ll probably feel like you’ve seen this done better.
