2 Guns Review

Going into 2 Guns I thought to myself "This is probably going to be another cookie cutter action movie". Well I´m happy to say that this movie really surprised me. 2 Guns stars Denzel Washington and Mark Whalberg. The plot is as follows "A DEA agent and a naval intelligence officer find themselves on the run after a botched attempt to infiltrate a drug cartel. While fleeing, they learn the secret of their shaky alliance: Neither knew that the other was an undercover agent." 

Now my big problem with the film is the plot itself. The movie starts throwing twist after twist after twist and anyone could easily get lost on what is going on. Whoever wrote the script must love twists because there´s alot of those here. What makes the film enjoyable is actually the back and forth between Denzel and Whalberg. They have great chemistry together and are actually really funny throughout the film. I would have been entertained by just watching those 2 guys talking throughout the whole movie. The action scenes are also well shot and entertaining. There is none of that shaky cam bullshit that people seem to love now. Everything that´s happening is clear, and well edited. 

I do think that the film could have used some more action, but the dialogue really makes up for that. In the end I was really surprised by 2 Guns. It had some cool action and great dialogue, but the script would have been better without so many plot twists. I´m going to give 2 Guns a 3.5/5
