2 Guns (2013)

2 Guns had cool action scenes, laughs and an interesting (if not entirely cohesive) story. No classic, but still good.

2 of my fav actors in 1 movie. I've seen this movie at least 10 times and only certain movies I can watch more then once. This movie is amazing and lots of clever jokes and both Mark and Denzel play cool funny characters.

Well, this movie, I was wondering how I managed to miss it when it came out. Story-wise it's OK, but the mixture of Walhberg and Washington was amazing! The acting was really good and the two types of characters they embodied were really entertaining. This is a fun movie, packed with action and nice lines. The back and forth between the two protagonists was delightful each time they talked to each other. The duration was OK and the final outcome of the movie was also as fun as hell. I don't know but it seems that there are some movies that are just unproblematic, fun to watch and straightforward. And this is one of the top movies in this category. Definitely worth your time.

2 GUNS is a film with a fantastic opening scene: thrilling, funny, sharply written, reminiscent of Tarantino's PULP FICTION. It introduces Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington as a pair of thieves who spend the whole film wisecracking and falling out, but there are twists involved with their characters and this turns into a post-modern version of LETHAL WEAPON.Sadly, the rest of the film can't sustain the quality of the opening set-piece, and 2 GUNS turns into a fairly ordinary thriller with some good dialogue to recommend it. Washington seems to be effortlessly able to turn his hand to any role he takes on and he's excellent in this, and Wahlberg provides a good foil too. Apparently these guys ad-libbed a lot of their own dialogue and the camaraderie between them feels naturalistic.The plotting is very predictable stuff and needlessly convoluted in places. It's one of those films where everyone seems to be corrupt and is after the central characters. It does feature a number of familiar faces parts in various roles, actors including James Marsden, Bill Paxton, Fred Ward, and Edward James Olmos, the latter a welcome return to the big screen after being off it for many years. There's sex, violence, lots of raucous humour, and more besides, but 2 GUNS lacks real character to make it stand out. Washington and Wahlberg deserved a better movie.
