MJB784 2 Guns had cool action scenes, laughs and an interesting (if not entirely cohesive) story. No classic, but still good.

david-sarkies Well, I guess you could consider this to be a buddy cop movie, but also one of those movies where the main characters are crooks – sort of. Well, at first you think they are, namely because they are sitting in a diner talking about robbing a bank that happens to be across the road, and also making a comment that one should never rob a bank that happens to be across the road from a really good donut shop (so they proceed to blow the donut shop up). Well, it quickly becomes apparent that these two guys aren't actually crooks, but rather one of them happens to be a DEA agent and the other happens to be Naval Intelligence, it is just that neither know who the other actually is. As for the bank – well, it happens to be the safe deposit for a drug dealer.Actually, this happens to be one of those films where not everything is actually as it seems. As I mentioned the two main characters at first appear to be crooks, but then turn out to actually be the good guys, though one sort of wanders whether there is any such thing as a good guy or a bad guy in a world that is becoming ever more grey. As for the money, well, I really don't want to give too much away because as I indicated, not everything is as it seems, though you do sort of wonder whether it is actually feasible for a member of naval intelligence and a DEA agent to actually rob a bank. Then again, one also wonders whether it is actually right for the intelligence services to extort criminal organisations out of money so as not to bust them.This was a rather fun film, though also pretty gritty as well, and in a way it seems to be the direction a lot of films have been heading for the last twenty-five years. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, other than Islamic terrorists (which I have to admit are pretty boring when it comes down to it), there hasn't been a decent external bad guy to constantly throw our heroes at, so all of the sudden the government, or even rogue elements within the government, suddenly become the baddies. A part of me was thinking that maybe this had something to do with Hollywood's left leaning elements – because Hollywood, which happens to be a union town, has always seem to drift to the left, at least socially (how many unmarried couples are there in Hollywood movies that have waited til they got married to have sex?). However, the idea of the government being the bad guy is a very libertarian concept.Another thing that seems to jump out of this film is how our heroes have turned out to be loners of late – in a sense the guys that they thought they could rely upon are no longer reliable. In one sense we have their allies getting shot, or otherwise they simply are betrayed and left hung out to dry. However I guess the admiral was partially right when he pointed out that naval officers do not rob banks, and if they are ordered to do so by a superior officer then they probably should start questioning the integrity of that officer. In the end there is following orders, and there is following orders, and as the Nazi's found out, there actually is no defense when it comes to following orders.So, in the end, I didn't mind this film at all. It is fun, and if you like those gritty cops dramas where there are a multitude of twists and turns, then you would probably enjoy this one. While I wouldn't go as far as calling it a 'hidden gem', it is fun and worth wasting a couple of hours to watch.

palavitsinis Well, this movie, I was wondering how I managed to miss it when it came out. Story-wise it's OK, but the mixture of Walhberg and Washington was amazing! The acting was really good and the two types of characters they embodied were really entertaining. This is a fun movie, packed with action and nice lines. The back and forth between the two protagonists was delightful each time they talked to each other. The duration was OK and the final outcome of the movie was also as fun as hell. I don't know but it seems that there are some movies that are just unproblematic, fun to watch and straightforward. And this is one of the top movies in this category. Definitely worth your time.

Ole Sandbaek Joergensen This was exactly how I thought it might be, an old-school, double trouble, hard hitting, guns blazing, action comedy :) Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg actually works out quite well together, better then I had expected, their different styles goes together in each their own crazy character way and that is just fun to watch.This was a fast moving and entertaining film in many ways, some might find it quick and dirty or even too much and superficial, but I liked it, just watch it with the promise of lots of action, big mouthing and guns blazing then you will not be disappointed that is for sure.I don't know what else to say, then watch it, be happy and enjoy, it is what comedy action should be.
