Review of 2 Guns (2013) by Luke T — 29 Sep 2016
Unfortunately, this is not one of the best cops movies made. It is almost the complete opposite of this. Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg are Bobby Trench and Marcus Stigman respectively, two cop buddies who are forced to go on the run after getting into big and serious trouble with the law.
The two leads are good, but the movie suffers from the direction of Baltasar Kormakur, as it is all over the place. Even though the movie does have its moments of tension, there is not enough tension to keep us guessing what will happen next. If there was more tension/suspense, then this film probably would have got a more positive reception.
Also, some of the film is quite nasty and uncomfortable in places, while the script can be a little lacklustre in places and it doesn't help by having horrible bad language in it.
Overall, this is one cop movie that can be easily forgotten and is not one of Wahlberg or Washington's best movies and there are much better cop movies than this one.
