   Entertaining during its running time, forgettable afterwards, this action-comedy benefits mainly from the chemistry of the two leads and some fitting location shooting. Although it's definitely a good idea having CIA, DEA, Navy Seals and the drug barons fighting against each other for other people's money, the script has bitten more that it can chew and each plot turn becomes more improbable than the preceding one. The film never takes itself too seriously but its tone is more farcical than satirical, diminishing its critique and lasting impact. 10 years 6 months ago

   An increasingly stupid and preposterous plot, but great chemistry between Washington and Wahlberg, fun action, and stylish editing make this quite the entertaining popcorn flick. Sure it's a bit too ambitious for its own good (at least in the story department), but you have to admire the effort, and, just like its protagonists, it hits more often than it misses. 10 years 5 months ago

   Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg go undercover in a Mexican drug cartel operation in 2 Guns, a movie that tries to dazzle by making every character lying about who they really are to motivate some fun reveals, but never quite feels like something original. Everyone correctly says the best part of the movie is the chemistry and banter between the two leads, but it's not a chemistry or dynamic we haven't seen several times in other movies, and not even characters we've never seen from these two actors, who might as well be on auto-pilot, affably playing their usual screen personas. I don't normally ask much from action flicks, just a good time and at least one sequence or character I've never seen before. 2 Guns could be pleasant if you don't watch this kind of thing much; for me, it was okay, but not memorable. 7 years 5 months ago
