His methods may be unorthodox. His crime scenes may get messy. But if you want the world saved right, you call in MacGruber.
Only one American hero has earned the rank of Green Beret, Navy SEAL and Army Ranger. Just one operative has been awarded 16 purple hearts, 3 Congressional Medals of Honor and 7 presidential medals of bravery. And only one guy is man enough to still sport a mullet.
In 2010, Will Forte brings Saturday Night Live’s clueless soldier of fortune to the big screen in the action comedy MacGruber. The film’s co-Stars include Ryan Phillippe as Lt. Dixon Piper and Kristen Wiig as Vicki St. Elmo. Both are key members of MacGruber’s elite team of experts charged with bringing down MacGruber’s sworn enemy played by Val Kilmer.
