Samuel L. Jackson is not The Man

Usually I’d bypass this kind of trailer as soon as I saw the premise, but something in me made me download it and watch it, and I’m glad. I might actually go see this now. The Man carries the following blurb on IMDB:

Eugene Levy plays a clueless traveling salesman who finds himself in the middle of an ATF sting, headed up by Samuel L. Jackson’s character.

Sounds pretty bad, but watch the trailer. There are some genuinely funny moments, and especially the multiple questions. I actually do think this could be funny. Pitching Jackson against the straight up Levy could turn out to be really funny…unless we’ve just seen all the funny bits.

There’s one other thing I’m interested in though, and that’s the casting of Luke Goss as the baddie. His turn in Blade 2 was really good, although it was hard to see him through all that make-up, and I’m really keen to see his talents onscreen without him hiding away. You know he’s even acted beside Michelle Yeoh!
