Movie Review: The Man
The Man (2005) was my most recent movie watch, I discovered it through advertisement from another rental I had made. The trailer made it look hilariously funny which was probably a dead cert given it stars Eugene Levy. Of course you can also tell there is going to be a slightly serious element to it with big Samuel L Jackson’s presence. For the first time in my movie reviews you have the option of purchasing the DVD and helping support my site, simply click on the DVD cover to the left.
Samuel L Jackson plays a federal officer (Derrick Vann) who is trying to track down the stolen weapons cache that had been removed from their station. He set’s up a meeting with the thieves which is where Eugene Levy (Andy Fiddler) gets mixed up in the whole affair, naturally Derrick take him along for the ride. If you have seen the American Pie series then you know the kind of comedy to expect, he is just like his character “Jim’s Dad” from the series. In all this film makes for a great watch, it’s a serious plot with two great actors, but has hilarious moments of comedy thanks to Levy. I’d seriously recommend you rent or buy it and give it a watch - Well worth it!

Just so you know, the “purchasing the DVD” text link is broken, it’s missing the ‘h’ in ‘http’.
