Review of 2 Guns (2013) by Mlk960 — 29 Aug 2013

Was I the only one who felt like the movie was funded by a liberal lobbying group? I'm not trying to post my own political opinion here, but it felt like there were multiple plot points where issues paralleled hot political topics right now.

These were then resolved with a liberal standpoint. For example: The ridiculous plot structure of having both a very corrupt and money lusting Navy/ CIA (On top of the cartel). Each of these organizations betrayed their single agents because they stood to reveal their bad nature.

In turn, the "2 guns" went rogue and committed acts that would be deemed 'terrorist.' Of course, the audience is supposed to root for them, so everything they do is ok. This was just one of the political topics hit out of many I saw, including the debate on welfare (The ridiculously long and unneeded scene where they argue over tipping), and the morality of betrayal in relationships (Denzel and the Latino chick.

) I saw others, but they don't come to mind. Maybe I'm just flipping out over a whole lot of nothing, but I still don't see the point in having a plot that tries to carry so many different things in it.

It was ridiculously varying and had no need for such complex and unbelievable structure. Aside from what I viewed as a political agenda (probably for an increasingly democratic audience), I would give the movie a 6/10.
