Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… a NYPD detective who loves nothing more than his desk. Allen Gamble could sit behind it all day – finishing paperwork, filing folders, and doing accounts. But Terry Hoitz, his hot-tempered and irritable partner, is determined that they prove themselves to be the best policemen on the force, or at least in the precinct. Unfortunately, this means that Allen has to leave the comfort of his desk and head out into the dangerous streets of New York City.
Personality… intelligent, but mild-mannered and extremely cautious. Allen is a stickler for rules and a huge fan of routine. He’s a desk jockey and incredibly happy to be one. Sure, all his fellow policemen tease him for being a useless wimp, but Allen doesn’t care. He’s fine with anything as long as he is able to stay out of trouble.

NYPD detectives Christopher Danson (Johnson) and P.K. Highsmith (Jackson) are the baddest and most beloved cops in New York City. They don't get tattoos, other men get tattoos of them. Two desks over and one back, sit detectives Allen Gamble (Ferrell) and Terry Hoitz (Wahlberg). You've seen them in the background of photos of Danson and Highsmith, out of focus and eyes closed. They're not heroes, they're "the other guys." But every cop has his or her day and soon Gamble and Hoitz stumble into a seemingly innocuous case no other detective wants to touch that could turn into NYC's biggest crime. It's the opportunity of their lives, but do these guys have the right stuff?
