Camouflage

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., A veteran detective and his novice assistant find some very unexpected mysteries in this offbeat comedy. Jack Potter (Leslie Nielsen) is a hard-boiled but absent-minded private detective who thinks it might be a good idea to retire soon. Potter is approached by Marty MacKenzie (Lochlyn Munro), a small-time actor wanting to research a role as a detective (while making some much-needed pocket money at the same time). Potter hires MacKenzie as a leg man and has him stake out a beautiful woman from Beaver Ridge, OR, whose husband is convinced she’s cheating on him. Things quickly get far more complicated than Potter expected, and he has to rescue MacKenzie from Beaver Ridge, which is populated by freaks, lunatics, and two-headed livestock; it doesn’t help that MacKenzie has also fallen in love with Cindy Davies (Vanessa Angel), the woman he was supposed to be watching. Camouflage also stars William Forsythe and Patrick Warburton.
