The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Bobby (Denzel Washington) is an undercover DEA agent working with Stigman (Mark Wahlberg) who in undercover Navy Intelligence. Each thinks the other is just a bad guy. Together they rob a bank on orders so as to steal money from a drug cartel. This way the money can be seized as evidence in a crime and they don't need a warrant, as if that has stopped them before. Things become confused as the there is more money than expected.The banter between Wahlberg and Washington is what makes the film. They are too cool together. It is a fun popcorn film with comedy, dark comedy, and plenty of action. Good characters in a plot that was predictable. Worth seeing after you have seen Reds 2.Parental Guide: F-bomb, brief nudity (Paula Patton).

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very funny dialogue. They play off each other very well. Paula Patton was superb. Edward James Olmos is also great. There was nothing to not like. They should make a sequel.

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.
