Directed by Les Mayfield
Produced by New Line Cinema, Fried Films
A lighthearted buddy-cop comedy built on mistaken identity and contrasting personalities, prioritizing laughs and chemistry over depth or stakes.
A case of mistaken identity forces a Federal agent and a dental supply salesman to team up as they speed through the streets of Detroit to pull off a sting operation and solve the murder of the agent's former partner.
