Summary
Two mismatched NYPD desk jockeys, mild-mannered forensic accountant Allen Gamble and hot-tempered Terry Hoitz, are stuck in the shadow of the precinct's hotshot supercops. When a chance to step up lands in their laps, they stumble onto a massive financial fraud orchestrated by a billionaire investor, and their bumbling investigation snowballs into a full-blown case that forces the unlikely partners to prove they belong on the street.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where The Other Guys lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 416.
