Billy Bob Thornton ("Sling Blade") co-wrote the script for this action-packed satire of detective films. Leslie Nielsen (who has starred in spoofs of horror films, cop sagas and spy adventures) plays grizzled shamus Jack Potter, who takes up-and-coming PI Marty Mackenzie (Lochlyn Munro) under his wing. Vanessa Angel is on board as a heavenly femme fatale.
