travis36 Very similar to "Bulletproof" with Adam Sandler and Daman Wayons but without all the silliness. Mark Wahlberg stole the movie. His character kept the laughs and action going. I though Denzel Washington was stoic at times compared to Mark. The plot was intelligent and kept me interested all the way through with all the interagency double crosses. A good crime/comedy mixture. It was a "don't trust anyone" movie. The comedy was smart and quick with the main leads playing off each other really well. The naval base chase scene was farfetched for anyone that has ever been on an active duty post. If you watch it for the entertainment value you will really enjoy the film. Deep thinking viewers will be disappointed.

Gordon-11 This 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.

tbills2 Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington. That's a fact. These 2 heavyweights carry this action-comedy into generous watchability. Impressive. When I go see an action flick starring Mark and Denzel I expect to see a really good movie, not just a kind of good movie, and that's what this is. The 2 leads are funny and the action is well played. 2 Guns would be a lot better if it wasn't so cliché and "ununique". I love both of these 2 stars. Mark can act very well and Denzel can act very, very well. Denzel's one of the best. Mark 2, right? Paula Patton's really nice to see. She can take me home, anytime. I give 2 Guns 2 thumbs up! 2 Guns is 2 funs!

Scarecrow-88 "Make it rain." If you are in the mood for a minor diversion, then "2 Guns" should fit the bill. Denzel is a DEA agent, Walhberg working Navy intelligence, Paula Patton and Robert John Burke DEA colleagues of Denzel, Edward James Olmos as Mexican drug-lord, James Marsden as a corrupt Navy officer, and Bill Paxton as crooked CIA agent. The cast is certainly stacked with talent, including Fred Ward, even, as a Navy Admiral who looks the other way even though Marsden is admittedly involved in corruption and Wahlberg was in the right by bringing the news to him. The plot has the MacGuffen of 42 Million…money of the CIA that was thought to be Olmos'. So the money is stolen from a bank by Wahlberg and Denzel but they are stunned to learn that this is not just drug cartel green. Everyone desires the money, of course, and by film's end there are a lot of people dead because of their avarice. This is a film where no one can be trusted due to the cash, but ultimately we at least have the two heroes to root due to their integrity and courage as the violence presents itself time and again in their direction. Washington is the intense part of the duo, cerebral and wise, while Wahlberg is the wise-cracking soldier with a marksman shot that doesn't miss. Patton is the wild card as her loyalties soon come into question while Marsden is that clean-cut scumbag with the wickedness that shows up despite the Navy bravado. Paxton is quite homicidal here as the CIA agent with the look of a creep duststop sheriff, who uses Russian roulette as an interrogation technique. Olmos is the sleazy drug-lord in the fancy white digs who has accumulated a robust bull ranch and marginal relationship with the US government regarding money laundering and exchange from different areas. This film has lots of guns firing ammunition, the usual speeding chases and vehicular destruction, and fun banter back and forth between the charismatic leads seeming to be having a good time. Patton is an absolute fox, Olmos is the recipient and deliverer of a beatdown by and to the leads, Marsden unveils the devil behind the handsome exterior, Paxton steals scenes as this mustachioed, silver-buckled, Cheshire-cat-grinning hunter of money that belongs to his government, and Ward's cameo tells you all you need to know about certain amoral authority figures with little regard for the truth when it comes to the proper image of the Navy (or any military/government institution). Wahlberg's all tongue-in-cheek, bubble-gum chewing, and matching barbs with Washington who has now developed the effortless ease that films like "2 Guns" benefit from thanks to his immense star power. All that money going up in a cloud of exploding Impala is a hoot as the bullets fly.
