The supporting cast, including Miguel Ferrer (NBC’s Crossing Jordan, Robocop), Luke Goss (Blade 2), Anthony Mackie (Million Dollar Baby, 8 Mile), Susie Essman (HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm) and Horatio Sanz (TV’s Saturday Night Live), provides hilarious “back-up.” Uncover special features including deleted scenes, featurettes and gag reels as The Man arrives on DVD at a $27.98 SRP.

    SYNOPSIS
    When a Federal Agent “on the take” in a multi-million dollar arms heist turns up dead on the mean streets of Detroit, all eyes turn toward his partner, Derrick Vann (Jackson), a hardcore undercover Fed known for his untrusting, street-wise style. Vann’s given 24 hours to recover the stolen arms and find the cop killers, but he’s about to stumble upon an unlikely ally: Andy Fiddler (Levy), an affable, optimistic dental supply salesman in town for a two-day convention. When the bad guys mistake Andy to be the buyer in a stolen arms deal, Vann is forced to utilize the talkative salesman as "the face" of his sting operation. With the clock ticking, this unlikely duo speeds through the streets of Detroit in an intense and hilarious adventure that uncovers much more than they could have ever anticipated.
