when i first saw trailer on the man and i immediately formulate what i want this movie to be . two completely unlikely and opposite men end up have to help each other to thwart the bad guy . one tough guy cop and one loser nobody and and in the end they find a respect for each other . then the review start pour in and they weren not favorable . they completely shatter my hope for what the film could and should be so i wait until dvd release to check this one out and guess what . the man be exactly what i want and expect from it which be great . samuel l. jackson be perfect and brilliant a tough and no nonsense and above the rule atf agent derrick vann whose partner ( turn out to be a dirty cop ) be kill by a gun smuggler . now vann be suspect of be dirty as well and during a complete case of mistaken identity dental supply salesman andy fiddler be bring in to the underground world of illegal gun sale and vann need him to catch these guy . jackson always play the tough guy role well and he can deliver comedy as well so his role be perfectly cast . eugene levy who rocket to fame during the american pie craze be usually overuse and over rat ( like the horrible new york minute ) and i be very concerned he would be overuse in this film but instead he be delightfully annoy a andy fiddler . he the pinnacle lovable loser that make him famous in american pie . him and jackson really do have great comedic timing and chemistry which be absolutely essential for this type of film . i be devastate that this film do not do good because i would have love to see a sequel even though it never would have match this one . this be a one trick pony for sure and it will be a gem to some and horrible to others . luke goss be okay a the bad guy and gun smuggler but nothing entirely outstanding . anthony mackie have some genuinely funny moment a jackson informant booty . the whole film really do revolve around levy and jackson character and interaction and it just fun to watch . it just plain and silly fun and worth seeing because it will make you laugh . i be dishearten at the ridiculous stupid and unnecessary addition of a fart gag to an otherwise well write comedy . for the most part the comedy be not cheap and or dirty ( levy lecture to jackson on the f word be classic ) and then they add in levy bad gas problem to cheapen the whole film and honestly drop this comedy an entire point in my book but it do and say and they redeem themselves with other clever banter between them and a decent if not predictable storyline . director les mayfield be a pro and have work on some great project and this might not be one of his best but it will do well on dvd and you should check it out for a chuckle . it not bad at all . positive .
