Samuel L. Jackson and Edgar Ramirez Set to Star in Action Comedy THE HONEST LIAR

Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction) is set to star alongside Edgar Ramirez (Point Break) and Grammy winner Andra Day (The United States Vs Billie Holiday) in action-comedy, TheHonest Liar.

Jackson will play an award-winning actor who is tasked with teaching rookie undercover cops how to act like criminals so they can save their own lives when on the job.

In the film, “Nick DeFranco is an award-winning actor facing jail time when he falls for an undercover sting. Nick criticizes the undercover police for their terrible ‘acting’ that he can’t believe he fell for.

“He knew something was wrong and went for it anyway. Impressed by Nick’s acting ability, the Police Captain offers Nick probation instead of hard time, in return for teaching his team how to act like real dealers.

“Nick has no choice but to agree. When Nick gets involved with a female rookie, he finds himself playing amateur undercover cop and getting more involved than intended, putting them both in danger of blowing her cover with some dangerous criminals.”

Written and directed by Wayne Kramer (The Cooler), it is produced by Dan Grodnik (Fast Charlie), who said: “Wayne Kramer’s forte is creating original stories around people we care about.

The Honest Liar grabbed me from the first page, drew me in emotionally, never took its foot off the gas, and ended on a satisfying high note. Samuel L. Jackson as Nick will make this a must see movie.”
