Comedy, Crime, Action
USA  /  English

No-nonsense agent Derrick Vann (Samuel L. Jackson) of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is trying to track down stolen ATF weapons in Detroit. His partner was the inside man for the theft, which makes Vann a target for Internal Affairs Agent Peters (Miguel Ferrer). Happy-go-lucky Andy Fiddler (Eugene Levy) is a dental equipment salesman from Wisconsin visiting Detroit for a dental convention. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Fiddler receives a bag containing a gun and a cell phone from a gun smuggler named Joey (Luke Goss), who tells Fiddler he will be contacted soon. Because of the mistaken identity, Vann forces Fiddler into the investigation. Fiddler has a legal misunderstanding in his background that gives credibility to his mistaken identity not only to the gun smugglers, but also brings him under the investigation of Agent Peters. Fiddler, who struggles to be “The Man”, is drawn deeper into the investigation as Vann tries to close the deal with the smugglers. Just when Fiddler thinks he is free, he is pulled back into the investigation one last time as Vann tries to catch the leader of the smugglers.
