Product Review: Writerbot XP in Bulletproof Monk

by Harold Spengler
17 April 2003

 

Bulletproof Monk is yet another successful demonstration of the formidable abilities of the script generating software Writerbot XP. When this program is utilized it delivers tried and true stories with familiar characters and time proven dialogue without fail. The advanced programming underneath the hood of this industry standard software features a sophisticated dialogue generator that allows for the proper matching of dialogue to any of the mathematically derived characters. This is best exemplified in the film by the character of the murderous Nazi and his use of the line "You really didn't think you would get away did you?" to the title character. Story construction technology is also state of the art as evidenced in the film by the use of the unstoppable villain who returns to life after apparently being killed and ultimately only truly meeting his end through a gruesome impalement. One of Writerbot's usually reliable features disappoints though with a somewhat less than satisfying "kick to the groin" gag that is more succesfully implemented in almost every current Hollywood film. This feature is absolutely required in any modern script generating software and will hopefully be used more effectively in the next script generated by Writerbot. All in all, Bulletproof Monk is another shining example of the predictable and dependable nature of the popular script generation software Writerbot XP.
