‘The Man’ a limp piñata of clichéd characters, jokes and plots that begs to be hit…The miscast Samuel L. Jackson stars as Derrick Vann, a caustic, gung ho Federal Agent who has 24 hours to recover a pile of stolen weapons and find his former partner’s killers. This becomes much more challenging when the bad guys mistake salesman Andy Fiddler (Levy, also miscast) for the gun buyer. Now, Vann has to get Andy to pose as the front man in a sting operation.
The only thing that set’s ‘The Man’ apart from any other buddy cop movie is that it wastes the most talent in less time then you can say “He’s my bitch.” I was planning on seeing “Emily Rose”, but it was sold out, so I got stuck with this limp, unnecessary buddy cop “comedy” with not an original idea in it’s mess of clichés. Both actors have real talent, but are wasted, trying to do their best with weak material. While the film does have some laughs, it’s a lame movie with recycled jokes that doesn’t realize it’s a lame movie with recycled jokes. That’s the real problem here.
Brainless movies are appreciated when they don’t take themselves too seriously. ‘The Man’ can’t be classified in this category because It does take itself too seriously, and actually begins to think it’s a passable movie. If I wanted to see brainless fun, there are much better options out there. Don’t waste $10 on this movie, don’t even wait for it on DVD. Avoid.

Man! What a waste!
We’ve seen it many times before. From “Miami Vice” to “Lethal Weapon”, and furthermore in “Rush Hour”, the cultural and personality clash of mismatched allies unwittingly working together has long become an established formula.The newest unlikely pairing comes in the guise of Eugene Levy and Samuel L. Jackson, two individuals who stand at the furthest polar opposites from each other, both relying on their stereotypical persona of the tough guy and the bumbling nerd to illustrate this contrast.
A routine business trip from Wisconsin to Detroit turns into an unexpected case of mistaken identity for Andy Fiddler (Levy), a dental supply salesman, while heading to a convention.
Upon his arrival, he coincidentally crosses paths with Derrick Vann (Jackson), a federal agent who just happens to be dealing with the death of his partner and a stash of stolen firearms. From then on, Derrick uses Andy in his scheme to recover the weapons and expose the leader of the operation (Luke Goss). Andy, who is believed to be a participant in the whole criminal dealings, has no other choice but to cooperate with Derrick and solve the case in time to make it to his convention the next morning.
“The Man” employs the usual rules of buddy movies, as we see the two leads initially teaming up with reluctance only to inevitably become accustomed to each other in the end. Both discover that they can learn from one another, with Andy teaching Derrick to be more trusting and more appreciative of family values, while Derrick teaches Andy to be more assertive.
Levy and Jackson’s combination is effective to a certain degree, due in great part to the clear distinction between positivity and negativity which emanate from both characters, the two elements nonetheless blending together to create highly compatible opposites.
Unfortunately, this exuded chemistry cannot sustain the rest of the material which all too often resorts to extensive flatulence sequences, resulting in two heavyweight actors floating on nothing more than hot air in a film that practically has no other substance and that lingers unpleasantly, long after it has passed.
