You say it's bad. Is it as bad as...

...Equilibrium? (Starring Christian Bale and Taye Diggs).

I can handle a quite bad movie. I mean I sit through junk on TV all the time.

I thought Eqilibrium was c**p but there were about six minutes of action and wonder (in total) that made it an acceptable waste of time and money.

BulletProof Monk is based on a very cool comic.

Chow Yun Fat is an excellent action guy and has great screen presence.

Sean William Scott is cool and I think is a capable actor.

The action in the trailer looks post- Matrix enough.

The budget looks average but not appalling.

There's already a decent concept 'cos of the comic.

Can it really be that bad? I haven't seen it but I'm looking forward to it.

Give me something to measure its c**pness against.

Ta.

Ive seen more films than most keen movie buffs and i never expected much from this..... which was just as well as it was so bad that i was thinking about washing and ironing after 20 minutes of suffering. It really had no redeeming features at all and bored me thoroughly throughout. i would name a few movies to compare it with but its in a league of its own poorness. Its the absolute pits. Worse than street fighter the movie and the mario bros movie! Im not kidding!!!

Wow!

You've just named 2 appalling movies. That is frightening. Now I understand.

Sadly as a movie & comics fan I've still got to see it for myself and find out the hard way but thanks for the warning.

Ouch!
