Watch The Man

The Man is a 2005 action-comedy film directed by Les Mayfield and starring Samuel L. Jackson, Eugene Levy, and Miguel Ferrer. The movie tells the story of Agent Derrick Vann (Jackson), a tough and no-nonsense ATF agent on the trail of a group of weapons dealers. However, his investigation is thrown for a loop when he meets Andy Fiddler (Levy), an ordinary dental supply salesman who unknowingly becomes caught up in Vann's investigation.

Fiddler is on his way to Detroit for a convention when he accidentally receives a message meant for one of the weapons dealers. The message leads Vann to believe that Fiddler is involved in their operation, and he shows up at Fiddler's hotel room to interrogate him.

Initially terrified of the intimidating Vann, Fiddler quickly realizes that the agent is actually looking out for his safety. Vann enlists Fiddler's help in his investigation, and the unlikely duo set out to take down the weapons dealers.

Throughout the movie, Vann and Fiddler navigate several high-stakes situations and comedic mishaps. Vann's tough-guy persona is challenged by Fiddler's timid nature, as the two work together to catch the criminals behind the weapons operation.

As the investigation heats up, Vann and Fiddler begin to form an unexpected friendship. Vann sees something in Fiddler that reminds him of his own son, who was killed in the line of duty. Fiddler, meanwhile, begins to come out of his shell with the help of Vann's tough love.

The performances of Jackson and Levy carry the movie, as their chemistry provides many of the movie's comedic moments. Jackson's tough-guy persona is balanced out by Levy's comedic timing and nervous energy.

The supporting cast is also strong, with Ferrer playing Vann's former partner who is now working for the weapons dealers, and Luke Goss playing the group's leader.

The action scenes in The Man are well done, with car chases and shootouts that keep the movie moving. However, it is the moments of levity between Vann and Fiddler that really make the movie memorable.

Overall, The Man is an entertaining action-comedy with strong performances from its leads. It may not be groundbreaking in its plot or action sequences, but it delivers on its promise of laughs and excitement.

The Man is a 2005 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 23 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.5 and a MetaScore of 33.
