They certainly weren't, there is no way you can call and have a federal agent show up to a movie theatre in the space of a couple of minutes.
They are almost certainly former federal or other agents who now work for private security firms that contract to AMC / MPAA.
It wouldn't take much detective work to figure out which firm it is and who the people are.
It sounds like they broke the 'impersonating a federal officer' law, but a lot of private detectives do that in the USA and nobody ever does anything about it.

Given the cozy relationship the MPAA has with the government, is it really that far fetched? If they really thought he was part of the scene? Not saying you're wrong, but is it that simple?
- e40 13y agoLet's assume you're right. If he had asked "Am I under arrest?" what would they have said?
- MichaelGG 13y agoProbably something like "Not yet, we're trying to keep this easy. You really don't want to spend the night in jail, have to post bail tomorrow and ruin your plans. But hey, that's an option if that's what you want."
