Jackson - Pulp Fiction, S.W.A.T.), he finds himself forcibly partnered with Vann for the duration of a perilous investigation into an illegal arms-dealing ring in the action-packed comedy The Man.

Critics Consensus: Despite the steely presence of Samuel L. Jackson and the comic timing of Eugene Levy, The Man's plot is pointless and its jokes rehashed, as it ends up playing out like the Odd Couple with gas.

Bowling Green Daily News

Micheal Compton

The pairing had potential to be quite funny, but unfortunately they are stuck with a script that feels like its been on the shelf since the mid-'80's.

While Fiddler is a bumbler, he is not stupid, and actually makes a few good decisions. Vann is clever dealing with criminals, but he has some emotional shortcomings. They are an interesting pair, and in this genre, that is what really counts.

A derivative, readily-forgettable insult to the intelligence!

...watered-down and egregiously silly...
