MOVIE REVIEW: 2 Guns
Reader Craig Steyn reviews new action comedy film 2 Guns on behalf of the Randburg Sun and Ster-Kinekor Northgate.
GENRE: Action comedy
RUNNING TIME: 109 minutes
STARRING: Mark Wahlberg (The Fighter), Denzel Washington (Flight), Paula Patton (Disconnect)
DIRECTED BY: Baltasar Kormákur (Contraband)
RATING:
Currently screening at Ster-Kinekor Northgate.
PLOT: Two undercover agents from different agencies find themselves in a precarious situation after attempting to steal money from a drug lord. While on the run they discover things about each other that neither one knew, realising eventually that they do not know each other as well as they thought they did.
THE GOOD: This film has a great cast, a lot of explosive action and some very funny scenes. It is full of little twists and turns that leave the viewer intrigued. Mark Wahlberg brings a very good comical element to the film and Denzel Washington is serious throughout, adding some brilliant sarcasm to accompany Wahlberg’s comedy. Together they make a very good pairing for a “buddy cop” film.
THE BAD: The storyline is a rehash of countless previous films and it can be a little predictable at times.
VERDICT: 2 Guns is a very funny movie with good action. It’s great family movie. Although predictable, the unlikely pairing of Mark Walhberg and Denzel Washington makes for good comedic fun. This movie is pure entertainment. It’s lots of fun and great to watch.
