2 Guns is a movie based on smart callbacks and sly flip-flops of loyalty, regularly interrupted by spasms of well-staged violence. Read full review

In a season stuffed with empty eye candy, 2 Guns comes along as something of a welcome burrito — plenty satisfying and hardly nutritious. Read full review

The movie is loud, fun, quick moving, and features some nice acting turns. Read full review

Wahlberg and Washington are so good together, quips flying as fast as lead, that much is forgiven. Read full review

This is a here today, gone tomorrow trifle, albeit one with lots of gunplay. In midsummer, that may be enough, but it's still a shame that 2 Guns shoots so many blanks. Read full review

It's a complete mess, the spectacle of filmmakers blowing up their movie and everything in it, because they can't think of anything else to do. Read full review

The movie is cute and has some original scenes. The action and surprises are constant enough to keep you interested, and the one-liners aren't unbearable.

Crime buddy movie. Washington & Wahlberg team up and ride the waves of a complicated plot-line while winding each other up. Bill Paxton turns in a quality villain performance. There's violence, but nothing gratuitous until the finale, there's swearing without it taking over the script. It'sCrime buddy movie.

It was a let down. Mark Wahlber plays the same guy he is on every movie, and it was one of Denzels least appealing characters. The movie just has nothing memorable about it. It`s an ok watch, but nothing new.

A painfully appalling attempt at the humorous, buddy/action genre. This thing falls drastically short of being any way entertaining. It has no story, poorly-drawn characters, irritatingly weak dialogue and boring action. Don’t waste your time.
