- TriviaOutside of the U.S., where the Crown Vic vehicle is prominently produced and used by law enforcement, the producers behind the film decided to give the film different names in foreign countries who would be unaware of the title's meaning. Therefore in Australia, the film is titled "Protect and Serve", in Germany the film is called "In A Web of Violence" and in the UK the film is called "Bulletproof".
- GoofsEven with the now exiting-service Ford Crown Vics, the dash cam was always mounted from the windshield header. In the depicted position laying on the dash board in the movie, it would only capture video of the hood.
- Quotes
Ray Mandel: After tonight you are either going to figure this out and you are going to learn how to do this job or you are not and this job is going to eat you alive. There is the world inside this squad car and there is everything else outside of it. Your are out on patrol, every person you see that is not in a uniform is either somebody whose been in the back of your squad car or somebody who has not been in the back of your squad car yet. I am talking everybody. Everyone who is not a cop. You are not a part of them anymore. It is us against them. You are the sheep dog, they are the sheep. They could turn around and hang you out in a heartbeat. That's the trade. People sleep peaceably in their bed at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf and they will fucking hate you for it. That's the deal. It's the deal you made when you signed up for this!

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.
