The
only two things that differentiates “2 Guns” from dozens of other
action movies are Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg whose bromance
reminds one of the banter between Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd in
“Moonlighting” and here you wait for the two guys to walk off into the
sunset, holding hands, into “2 Guns 2”. There are a lot of crotch jokes,
certainly double entendres, but done with an ease between the guys that
 keeps you continuously smiling,

At
one point I thought I may have walked into “White House Down” or
“Lethal Weapon 10” as there are cops, robbers, the CIA, FBI, the Navy,
houses being blown up, car races and crashes, windows smashing all over,
a drug lord, double crosses, helicopters crashing, lots of gunfire, a
fairly high body count and everything else you have seen before in
action movies.

One
of the new things in this movie is Washington and Wahlberg wrestling in
the desert that is very funny and at the same time sexier than anything
you saw in “Brokeback Mountain”. These two actors obviously enjoyed
working together and in many scenes share that joyful play with the
audience.

The
story is really immaterial but there is one by the screenwriter Blake
Masters that at times is blurred but he certainly knows how to write one
liners. The director Baltasar Kormakur keeps the action going,
interesting and has an excellent cast, In addition to the  two stars
there are Edward James Olmas, Bill Paxton, James Marsden, Fred Ward and
Paula Patton.

“2
Guns” is far from a classic but anyone who likes the two leads
shouldn’t miss this and the ending of the old Hollywood, “Happily Ever
After”!
