2 Guns focuses on criminals Robert "Bobby" Trench (Denzel Washington) and Michael "Stig" Stigman (Mark Wahlberg) as they find themselves involved in a despite over a large sum of money following a bank robbery.
If I had to describe the film in one word, it's balanced. The humour, story and action never feel too over the top without getting boring and flow very organically into the story. The main characters have great chemistry and conversations, with brilliant writing and clever humour (on a side, I wouldn't mind a sequel with these characters).
The action felt well shot and knew when to pull shots back or when to go into the more chaotic close camera shots, featuring a lot of style and really helps the film stand out from a lot of other action films.
Story wise, I won't dare spoil anything; twists come one after the other, but never so fast that the plot becomes convoluted or confused.
The real strength of the film is its writing, in both the humour and the twists and turns of the story. It never feels tired or boring without feeling lost, with some genuinely funny moments, helped by fantastic acting from everybody involved.
Its difficult to analyse the story since it never stays the same, but all round the experience was fun, funny, action packed and interesting.
2 Guns is a fantastic film that I can't recommend enough.
