In 2 Guns, the always great Denzel Washington teams up with Mark Wahlberg to rob a bank, but get WAY more than they bargained for. Do yourself a favor and try NOT to learn anything else about the film before plopping your butt in your theater seat. Trust me. Just go in blind and enjoy the ride.
Wahlberg and Washington have amazing chemistry! How have they never done a movie together until now?! And they almost didn't make this one. In fact, they accidentally ran into each other at brunch and talked about working together. I'm glad they did. And you will be too.
This movie is a lot of fun! It's loaded with explosive action and balanced with playful humor, terrific pacing, and a solid script! The plot is a little bit difficult to swallow and is not well-developed, but it's not really all that critical. While it will never win an Oscar, it's fun and entertaining.
2 Guns is directed by Baltasar Kormákur who has worked with Wahlberg before. (Remember last year's Contraband?) And while 2 Guns is not as smart and emotionally charged as that film, it still delivers on one the best "buddy films" in the last couple of years.
