Samuel L. Jackson plays the role of a cop who is trying bust a gun smuggler who's in town. He sets up a meeting place to make a 'deal' with these guys, but when the gun lord's lackey gets there,he mistakes Eugene Levy, the supply salesman who is in town for a convention, for the so- called 'interested buyer', and gives him the gun by mistake. Samuel L. Jackson then comes in and arrests/ forces Eugene Levy to help him capture these guys by pretending to want to buy these guns.
This isn't a ground-breaking film, there are actually several other films just like it, but I really liked Eugene Levy's character. There was something about that oblivious, innocent, 'swell guy' character and his out-of-place reactions to the criminal situation. It's like bringing a grandmother to a rap concert or a skate park. Though this is neither Levy's or Jackson's best picture, they both bring sufficient talent so as to make the film watchable, but it's also lighthearted enough for you to let your guard down and just veg comfortably.
