The Other Guys
The Other Guys is a 2010 American buddy cop action comedy film directed by Adam McKay, who co-wrote it with Chris Henchy. It stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg with Eva Mendes, Michael Keaton, Steve Coogan, Ray Stevenson, Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson in supporting roles.
This film is the fourth of five collaborations between Ferrell and McKay, following Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004), Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), and Step Brothers (2008), and followed by Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013). The Other Guys is the only one not to be co-written by Ferrell. It is also the first of three collaborations between Ferrell and Wahlberg, who later reunited in Daddy's Home (2015) and Daddy's Home 2 (2017).
The film was released in the United States on August 6, 2010. It was well received by critics and grossed $170 million worldwide.
After mistakenly shooting Derek Jeter at the World Series, hot-tempered NYPD detective Terry Hoitz is partnered with mild-mannered forensic accountant Allen Gamble. Both are ridiculed by their peers, who idolize detectives Chris Danson and P. K. Highsmith, considered New York City's best cops despite the major collateral damage they cause catching petty criminals.
After Danson and Highsmith fall to their deaths jumping off a building during a rooftop chase, other detectives including Terry seek to fill their vacancy. Allen, however, is only interested in investigating a scaffolding permit violation by British multi-billionaire Sir David Ershon. Terry grudgingly goes along to arrest Ershon, but they are ambushed by a team of mercenaries led by Roger Wesley who apparently kidnap Ershon.
Terry and Allen talk through the case at Allen's house, where Terry is stunned by Allen's beautiful wife, Sheila, who is a doctor. The two visit Allen's beautiful ex-girlfriend, Christinith, to listen to a voice message from Allen's phone she mistakenly received during Ershon's apparent kidnapping. In the recording, Ershon tells Wesley his plan to cover $32 billion he lost on behalf of his client, Lendl Global, whose CEO, Pamela Boardman, has hired Wesley to ensure that Ershon pays her back.
When Terry and Allen arrive at a small suburban accounting office tied to Ershon, they are nearly killed by a bomb planted by Wesley. Upset by the escalating danger, Allen confides in Terry that he ran a prostitution ring in college and developed a dark, alternative personality, "Gator". He wound up in the hospital, where he met Sheila, and joined the NYPD to suppress his "Gator" persona.
Captain Gene Mauch orders Allen and Terry to hand over their evidence to Ershon's attorney, Don Beaman, who also works for the Securities and Exchange Commission. Upset when they are taken off the case, Allen briefly reverts to his Gator personality and Sheila kicks him out. Meanwhile, Terry unsuccessfully attempts to reconnect with his ex-fiancée Francine, who had left him over his anger issues.
