Skip it—this 2001 Samuel L. Jackson vehicle is a forgettable mashup of crime thriller and comedy that never commits to either lane, and the premise of a drug deal gone wrong has been done to death. Unless you're specifically hunting for obscure early-2000s action-comedies, your time is better spent elsewhere.
