The Other Guys

Coping with action

Allen (Will), a NYPD forensic accountant contented with paperwork, is persuaded by his frustrated partner Terry (Mark) to fill in the shoes of deceased NYPD supercops (played by Samuel L Jackson and Dwayne Johnson). But they soon find themselves in a thick financial scam which seems way out of their reach to crack the case.

“The Other Guys” plot is minimalistic and crumbles even as the  script has funny gags about women and cops. However, the cast is good enough to pull out the funny stuffs in all seriousness.  Overall, there is action, comedy, hilarity and attractive women in the lives of ‘the other guys’. The presentation may not be amazing, yet Mark and Will make a good pair.
