The Man from Toronto

Two strangers collide when a case of mistaken identity throws Teddy, an upbeat but overwhelmed entrepreneur, into the path of a lethal killer known as The Man from Toronto. To stay alive he must team up with the real assassin, a wary pro whose calm presence clashes with Teddy's nonstop optimism. The mismatch in styles sparks a string of risky escapes, ridiculous misreads, and over the top set pieces as they chase down a shadowy conspiracy across city streets and hotel corridors. Along the way Teddy learns to trust his instincts while the seasoned hitman reveals glimmers of a past that complicates their uneasy alliance. Neither could predict where this partnership would lead, but the chemistry becomes hard to ignore.

Directed by Patrick Hughes, the film uses an original screenplay by Bremner, Fox and Blumenthal. It stars Kevin Hart as Teddy and Woody Harrelson as The Man from Toronto with Kaley Cuoco, Jasmine Mathews and Lela Loren.
