Although treading distinctly familiar buddy-buddy territory, Icelandic actor/director Baltasar Kormakur's adaptation of the comic miniseries of the same name, 2GUNS (itself a riff on the classic 1973 Walter Matthau thriller Charley Varrick, remains breezily entertaining largely as a result of a sextet of character actors doing the utmost with what little they have; headlined by Mark Wahlberg and the ever-dependable Denzel Washington. It's nothing new, nothing original, and it probably doesn't even reach the standards set by the fun, guilty-pleasure that is Tango & Cash, let alone the genre-defining Lethal Weapon series to which it ultimately aspires - but the witty banter, sporadic drama and intermittently engaging action will easily hold your attention for the duration...

Thanks for the review Cas.
Saw the movie this afternoon and your review pretty much matches up with my view.
Denzel's is always worth watching and seems to be enjoying himself here.
Wahlberg seems to be marmite as an actor but I like him and he's good in this.
Great performance from Paxton and a cameo by Fred Ward.
From that collection of talent I wanted it to be a 10/10, it should have been, but, 7 is about right.

Still an enjoyable couple of hours with lots of actions and laughs.
