A wannabe chef and an unrepentant womanizer team up to start a detective agency, and quickly realize they've gotten in over their heads when their first job lands them smack in the middle of a massive government conspiracy. Anthony and his best friend, Julian, have yet to live up to their full potential. When Anthony realizes he's never going to become a five-star chef and Julian grows weary of playing the constant lothario, the two lifelong pals turn to sleuthing to make ends meet. Their first client is a smoldering top-dollar escort with evidence of a high-profile cover-up. At first they do their best to keep control of the situation, but when a shady U.S. senator comes knocking, the mob shows up guns blazing, and a most unusual assassin gets them locked in her sights, the only way to survive is to run like the devil and never look back. (official distributor synopsis)

I was quite surprised by this film. There are great action sequences, excellent characters, and especially humor that I didn't expect but really amused me at times. It's nothing spectacular, but for me, it's still a pleasant surprise. The story is somewhat straightforward and flowing, but overall, it's exactly the B-movie that one would expect. More gore wouldn't have hurt.
