2 Guns w/ Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg

2 GUNS begins without a real introduction. That’s a way of saying “We know you, modern viewers. We know that, even if you’re action junkies who like to turn off your brains, you can still think and figure things out.” That gave me hope that this wasn’t going to be a dumb movie. It wasn’t... but it was still bad. You know that scene in the trailer where the 2 protagonists discover their true identities? It takes a long time for that to happen. And after that, it takes more time for them to team up. And you know that scene--actually, look at the poster. That moment where they shooting in opposite directions surrounded by burning bills doesn’t happen until there's 10 minutes left. Was there something rewarding in between? Nope, just a convoluted plot that’s way too serious for such an over-the-top violent movie. Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg have good chemistry, but their dialogue consists of buddy cop banter that’s forced and dated.
