tuckfinite Humor? Heroism? Commitment? Determination? Romance? Empathy? Mutual respect? Everything except the sadism scenes seemed like a phone in, walk through, rehearsal? This suggested a theory. Deliberate sabotage? Perhaps the director and editor decided they despised their stars and maybe the suits as well. They used weak footage or even asked for some rehearsal but the camera was running. This would also explain the choppy ludicrous directing/editing. Some of those reaction shots? The ending? C,mon. Can Mark Wahlberg smile for real now? Did he need counseling?
rubin_family 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.
Paul Magne Haakonsen Initially you would think that something with Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg is an instant hit, and this movie was actually quite alright. It was a combination of good storyline and a great cast ensemble.The storyline is fast paced and captivating. The story shifts into a high gear right away and sticks to the high gear right to the very end. The plot is easy to follow, but it captivates the audience and takes the audience along for an action-packed ride.A good storyline is only so much without a proper cast, and the cast in "2 Guns" really did deliver. Of course it was to be expected with names such as Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington. But with a supportive cast that includes Bill Paxton and Edward James Olmos you just get a great level of talent thrown into the fray.There is a good amount of action and gunfights in the movie, which were nicely executed and put on the screen.A nice action movie with an entertaining story, but an even more impressive cast. "2 Guns" is well-worth watching.
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.
