if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

... View More'2 Guns' is a middling comedy/action buddy cop movie that's already been done a million times before, and in many cases a lot better. It's the type of film that you watch passively, without caring much for any of what happens, and then forget that you even watched it come the next day. It's moderately entertaining though, with some well-crafted action scenes and the odd decent laugh, but nothing to make you sit up and take notice.This film could have been a lot worse if it wasn't for Wahlberg and Washington's on screen chemistry. In many ways their entertaining partnership distracts us from the generic material and plot and is one of the film's few positives. Other than that, '2 Guns' is a very average and instantly forgettable action flick. A decent time passer, but nothing more.
... View MoreThis film tells the story of two criminals who are informed that the bank holds $3 million in the safe. They successfully rob the bank, only to find way more money than they expected.They soon find themselves being chased after by multiple criminals and agencies. They have to entangle themselves from the elaborate setup they get themselves into."2 Guns" is a rare occasion where action and comedy both work well. The tone of the film is light hearted, but never becomes silly or outrageous. Good jokes come in form of witty lines by the main characters. There is a lot of action to provide adrenaline rush, making it a proper action film. The story twists and turns, and is simply full of pleasant surprises. I enjoyed watching it.
... View More2 Guns starts great from its opening scene, which sets the audience a challenge - can you grow to like these men? Sat in a diner ahead of a bank robbery, Bobby Trench (Washington) and Michael Stigman (Wahlberg) indulge in a tense back-and-forth about their breakfast orders and Stigman's regular flirting with waitresses.It's clear we're meant to see Stigman as a chatty but dim stooge to Washington's irascible elder and let the 'witty' repartee carry us through the film's later formulaic motions. The problem is, it's a little hard to care about either of these unpleasant criminals and even when truths emerge later about the pair, it hardly increases your emotional connection to the film. Overall 2 Guns delivers on action, comedy and is a fun thrill ride.
