2 Guns (2013)
Country: US
Technical: col/2.35:1 109m
Director: Baltasar Kormákur
Cast: Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg, Paula Patton, Edward James Olmos, Bill Paxton
Synopsis:
An undercover drug enforcement officer teams up with a US Navy Intelligence operative to expose a Mexican drug operation; neither knows of the other's alias. When they decide to rob a bank sheltering funds belonging to their target kingpin, they unwittingly unleash the ire of a corrupt CIA agent whose ill-gotten gains are also housed there.
Review:
Flashily violent, amoral caper in the Luc Besson mould, and based on a graphic novel. If you can tell what is being said enough to follow the twists and turns (not actually that hard), it provides crazy, high-octane entertainment for audiences with strong stomachs, and an opportunity for a revelatory scenery-chewing turn from Bill Paxton.
