Now a prequel takes us back to Sulley and Mike's student days at Monsters University: this is
a standard buddy movie, sports movie, and campus movie (with, incidentally, an eerie similarity to The Internship).
Other than that, «Bulletproof» is your
standard vulgar, mindless, action -
buddy flick, albeit with a love story at its center — something that might have marked the
movie as a landmark among the kind of fictional relationships that date back to «Huckleberry Finn,» if it weren't trying so hard to deny its identity.
Setting the
standard for cop
buddy movies for years to come, Lethal Weapon may not have revolutionized the genre, but definitely proves to be an exceptionally efficient example of how the formula can work when the star chemistry is just right.
