Decent LAPD flick. Nothing special but definitely worth a watch. Thomas Jane killed it. Check it out.

Acting, writing, cinematography, directing: all better than I expected. Ridiculous if you know anything about actual police procedure but like a lot of shows it is quite entertaining in an intense sort of way if you put your critical thinking in a drawer before you watch it. I didn't feel like turning it off after the first 20 minutes and it held up until the end.

Bulletproof as it's known here in England is a decent cop drama crafted similar to Denzel Washington's Trains Day but this is set over one night for our two LAPD officers played by Thomas Jane as the older grizzled Ray & his new fresh rookie played by Luke Kleintank, both gove excellent strong performances here in this gritty & very dark Cop drama.

Thomas Jane is a favourite of mine, an actor I've liked since 1999's Shark Thriller Deep Blue Sea & he's usually really good in stuff such as the 2000's The Punisher, I'm a huge fan of that film, among other films Jane is often great & steals the show as he did with The Predator!!! I liked him recently in the Wilderness Killer Bear Thriller, In To The Grizzly Maze but hated his weird Werewolf Horror Hunters Moon, it's often like most actors hit & miss with his work especially since alot are DTV low-budget B-movies but here in Bulletproof he gives one of his best performances as a veteran street cop of over 25 years & he's worn down by all the Horror he sees every night but within his squad car he feels safe from the evil out there & Jane gives such a great performance in playing this hard edged, grizzled & aware guy & even slips into vigilante territory & he's right to do so, i agree with his actions in this film as the police can only do so much!!!!

Just go into this dark cop drama not knowing too much about it & just watch their crazy night of danger unfold, it's a dark & gritty ride with two strong leads & some very dark & emotional stuff mixed into the cop action. A decent well made film but it's no Masterpiece just a good watch.

Follows the nightout of two LAPD cops, an experimented officer and a young rookie.. Very tense and realistic. If you liked "End of watch", "Harsh times", you will probably enjoy it.

I wasn't expecting much after seeing the trailer for this b-grade film, but surprisingly ended up really enjoying it.

Newbie writer and director Joel Souza presented one typical L.A. night shift in a cruiser, and pulled it off quite well. There was a constant cloud of suspense in the way it was written and directed. It felt very real and intense. The cinematography was great, and the score on point. The 110 runtime was a little too long and either should've shaved off 10-15 mins, and/or the pacing picked up a little.

Nevertheless, mad props to Joel Souza for creating this little low-budget b-grade gem. A definite recommend, and a well deserving 8/10 from me.
