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. Robert Trench, an undercover DEA agent, takes advantage of gunman Michael Stigman's idea to rob a bank to bust him and a mob boss. However, it proves too successful with much more money seized than anticipated with Trench's forces not stopping the getaway. Complicating things still more, Stigman turns out to be a Naval Intelligence agent who shoots Trench and takes the money. The interservice debacle suddenly finds Trench and Stigman in a bloody web of corrupt clandestine rivalries as they are hunted, blackmailed and isolated for the money on both sides of the law. Now, the fugitives must work together to find a way out of this situation with no one to turn to but themselves.
Review :
Flat, unexciting drivel that wastes the pairing of two great leads STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning Robert Trench (Denzel Washington) and Michael Stigman (Mark Wahlberg) are two buddies who arrange it to rob a bank where some of the world's deadliest criminals hold accounts. But these two friends hide a common secret from each other: they are both undercover agents in their respective fields, one for the DEA, the other for a branch of the military. The seeds of mistrust are planted when both learns each other's troublesome secret, but they must both overcome this when they learn they are now both in hot pursuit by a ruthless drug lord, and some corrupt CIA agents and military officials who want the stolen money back. The 'buddy buddy' formula has remained an effective gambit by Hollywood ever since Richard Donner started the craze back in the late 80's with Lethal Weapon, even when it seems like it's aware itself of what a tired and predictable idea it's become. This is the least of the problems with 2 Guns, though, a thoroughly messy, disappointing affair that wastes a screen pairing with huge potential in the shape of Washington and Wahlberg, an older and wiser/younger and more hot headed pairing that could have worked great with better writing and more taut direction. As it is, it barely gets out of first gear. The film is driven by a confused, incoherent plot that my plot summary barely managed to cover, that is more illogical and uninvolving the more it goes on. The film feels the need to compound it's problems by billing itself as a big, dumb, testosterone fueled action film, but delivering surprisingly little action, with a series of long, boring stretches in between the decent but rarely electrifying action set pieces. Chemistry wise, Washington and Wahlberg are hardly a none event, but with the meandering, redundant script, they may as well have been. It's just sad to think how much more might have been if they'd set their sights a bit higher and maybe demanding some screenplay changes. Baltasur Kormakur's previous Mark Wahlberg offering Contraband was totally forgettable, but just about serviceable. 2 Guns only manages to make it by by the smallest thread, one notch away from awful but very barely average. **
