Synopsis
A monk and a pickpocket become unlikely allies in this action
adventure story. Sixty years ago, a nameless monk (Chow Yun-Fat) was appointed
the guardian of a mysterious scroll that grants remarkable powers to those who
possess it. After six decades of traveling the world to protect the scroll, the
monk must find someone new to assume the responsibility, but as fate would have
it, the new caretaker turns out to be Kar (Seann William Scott), a scruffy and
distinctly non-enlightened petty thief living in San Francisco. As the monk
attempts to educate Kar in the powers and responsibilities of the scroll and
the ways of a monk's life, they discover they have a rival for the possession
of the valuable scroll. As Kar and the monk fend off their mysterious
adversary, they are aided by Bad Girl (James King), a beautiful Russian mob
affiliate with amazing martial arts skills and a vested interest in keeping the
scroll in virtuous hands. Bulletproof Monk was based a comic book series
published in 1999; Chow Yun-Fat's frequent collaborators John Woo and Terence
Chang produced. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
