2 Guns Reviews

Don’t be fooled by the title: there are hundreds of guns and bazillions of spent rounds in this fast-moving action flick.

| Feb 21, 2023

2 Guns is conventional, and the sense of humor is somewhat caustic, but ultimately the mild chuckles and fast-paced exploits of Beans and Stig provide a lazy diversion the viewer will instantly forget once the credits start to roll.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 30, 2022

Despite not owning an ounce of originality, 2 Guns more than makes up for it through the chemistry of Washington and Wahlberg.

| Original Score: B | Sep 17, 2021

In lesser hands, this clash of severe situations and insolence in the face of death might fail, but both Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg are convincing.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 3, 2020

The film will at least give you a solid two hours of escapist fun before sending you back out into the real world.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 24, 2020

The screenplay convolutes different characters and plot threads into a mess ... By the time we get to the big showdown, I found myself thinking, 'How did we get here again?'

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 24, 2020

"2 Guns" doesn't delve into any unexplored territory, but it delivers precisely what the it promises, shootouts and wise cracks.

| Original Score: B | Jul 8, 2020

It takes two actors you would never think to put together ... reworks and restructures [the genre's conventions] and puts the puzzle pieces together to make a picture that is completely different than the one on the box.

Cinema "Kleenex" in its most entertaining version, but cinema to use and throw away after all. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Apr 18, 2020

It's a slick piece of escapism that gets by largely on its star power -- not a bad thing when that star power is Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg.

| Apr 9, 2019

A Tex-Mex neo-western that embraces its dusty, southern setting, which stands out commendably amidst all the blood thanks to cinematographer Oliver Wood.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 2, 2019

It doesn't work at all but it also works completely, you know? Perfect for a dumb August afternoon.

Washington and Wahlberg, however, are charismatic and wildly entertaining (I found myself actually hoping for a sequel.)

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 6, 2018

[2 Guns] is a fun, gritty, action buddy-comedy action thriller and feels like it could have been lifted straight out of the 90's.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Oct 11, 2018

It's kind of an action movie Cornell Box.

... I can barely remember anything about it except that I'm annoyed that I wasted my time.

| Oct 21, 2017

... it's not that bad. But it ain't good either.

| Original Score: D+ | Sep 6, 2017

Movie rule 12: Mistrust anything bearing a '2' in its title - particularly when it's not a sequel. But 2 Guns proves a totally unexpected exception.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 5, 2017

Pair their back and forth with a hilarious cast of periphery players and 2 Guns pretty much has everything you'd want from a summer action comedy.

| Original Score: B | Jun 29, 2016

If 'Lethal Weapon' and 'Midnight Run' were billiard balls, Kormkur's directing is the cue ball hitting those two and smacking '2 Guns' straight in the corner pocket. Classic.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 5, 2016
