One Man. Two Lives. Countless Enemies. Marked for death by a biker gang, ex-Marine convict Tim Kearney (Paul Walker, Into the Blue) just got one last chance to walk out of jail alive. A scheming DEA agent (Laurence Fishburne, Mission: Impossible III) needs somebody to impersonate recently deceased druglord Bobby Z... and Tim happens to be a dead ringer. It's a risky proposition, but if Tim plays his part right, he may be able to claim Bobby Z's smoking hot ex-girlfriend (Olivia Wilde, Alpha Dog) and a cool fortune in illegal profits. Unfortunately, taking on Bobby Z's name also means taking on his bloodthirsty enemies. Caught in the crossfire, Tim runs for his life as he tries to find a way out of his deadly masquerade. Also starring UFC Light Heavyweight Champ Chuck Liddell.
Synopsis
Ex-marine criminal Tim Kearney has one chance at getting out of jail, by posing as a dead druglord named Bobby Z. If Tim can pull it off, he can get all the perks of Bobby's life. But with Bobby's identity also comes a list of many enemies.

If there are ten DVD's of one movie at your local rental store and only one of this on display then there's probably a reason for that. And it's not that patrons took out the other nine.
Whatever tone the producers were striving for, it is not on the screen. The zany levity works against any suspense and the film just seems to sit there, puzzling over its reason for being. The lead actor is incredibly goodlooking (think GQ) but his character is just not terribly relatable. I only picked it as a lazy rental because it said "Laurence Fishburne" on the cover and he's the best thing in it.
