"You knew that was coming?"
"That is correct."
2 Guns is an astonishingly old-fashioned buddy-thriller, in which everybody repeatedly double-crosses everyone else and all collide predictably at the end. The narrative holds very little surprise and the material really is very thin. It is capably directed with some good action/explosions, but what makes the film passably entertaining is the inspired teaming of Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg (Wahlberg's dry delivery is especially humorous) and a strong supporting cast (Edward James Olmos, Bill Paxton, James Marsden and Paula Patton in particular) which gives the film some weight. The film lags considerably when the two leads are separated, but their chemistry and experience makes their scenes very enjoyable to watch.
