2 Guns

اچھی فلم!

2 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. As a rewatch 06/13/20' very solid and entertaining action comedy. Better on the second watch.

Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg team up in a brilliant action packed movie. The chemistry between these guys was immense you can tell they had a great time making the movie. It is one of those movies that twists and turns constantly with a great bunch of characters throughout the movie, there is so many funny characters and Mark Wahlberg has a ball with funny one liners and Denzel Washington's reaction to them are just as funny. There is plenty of a shooting and fight scene's some great car chases set against the beautiful backdrop of Mexico. It was a real joy watching this movie and it really entertains I hope they do a sequel.

At first glance this movie seems like classic stories with undercover policeman against the crime, but it's not so. It is full of twists and turns that make the story not predictable and therefore enjoyable

2 Guns The best way to smuggle drugs out of Mexico is aboard the Corona beer blimp. Unfortunately, the mules in this action movie went with a car. Apprehended at the boarder after meeting with a Mexican kingpin, Papi (Edward James Olmos), Trench (Denzel Washington) and Stigman (Mark Wahlberg) are taken into custody. Later it's revealed Trench is undercover for the DEA, while Stigman is a disgraced Naval officer intent on taking Papi's money to his commanding officer (James Marsden). Since the drug deal tanked, Trench backs Stigman's plan to rob Papi's bank, and bring him up on laundering charges. But Trench and Stigman aren't the only ones keeping secrets. While the boilerplate plot is predictable, the action is explosive and the curious chemistry between Washington and Wahlberg is classic buddy cop fare. Furthermore, a dead giveaway that someone is an undercover Navy officer is their severe case of land legs. Yellow Light vidiotreviews.blogspot.com

Denzel and Mark make this movie worth watching. It has some comedic moments and that is only thing that kept me watching. Quite generic and forgettable.

Great movie for any Denzel/Wahlberg fans who are looking for a mix of action and comedy.

I had no real expectations for this one but, once the credits hit, I ended up having a lot of fun with this one. "2 Guns" gets that perfect balance of being funny without getting silly and being exciting with its action without getting too serious. Washington and Wahlberg carried the film tremendously and made for a fantastic duo. Additionally, not only was Edward James Olmos and Bill Paxton great in their respective roles but they also just ended up rounding out the cast and made the film very solid. My only complaint was the film felt rushed in the end but it didn't really have any impact on my enjoyment factor. In the end, the film was just a fun popcorn action film that is capable of being exciting and funny at the same time. Hi! My name is Rev. Ron and I love movies! So much so that I write a blog where I review whatever film I am currently watching. You can read a more in-depth review of this film (and others) at revronmovies.blogspot.com.

Bobby (Denzel Washington) and Stig (Mark Wahlberg) are trying to buy cocaine from drug dealer Papy (Edward James Olmos). Except they are both undercover (Bobby is DEA, Stig is Naval Intelligence) and neither knows the other is not a crook. And then they carry out a bank robbery and end up, Charley Varrick style, with a great deal more cash than they expected. And then it gets REALLY complicated, with the two of them, the drug cartel, DEA, Naval Intelligence, and the CIA all pursuing the money and each other. This action comedy thriller is great fun. It isn't that original, but that doesn't matter. The story works, the cast all do well (a special commendation to Paula Patton for getting them out for the boys), and there is an easy chemistry between the two principles. Washington is, perhaps, coasting a little, but Wahlberg works hard for laughs. He is one of the most improved actors in the industry.

We're under the impression that Baltasar Kormákur and his writers compiled all the most classical elements of the blockbuster action movie in order to create an ultra conventional ensemble which coherence isn't so obvious. The plot is disorganized, choppy, the transitions are often rather brutal, the rhythm isn't fluid, the dialogues are qualitatively very weak as is the low end humour. The expected success of this film partially relied on Wahlberg and Washington, and if the former is as usual average but relatively effictive, the latter, who is often able to solely carry a movie on his shoulders, does the bare minimum here. The duo is merely correct, but to its credit, it wasn't helped by the completely unrefined script of this not even entertaining movie one will forget as soon as finished.
