So we’ve seen the official trailer to the upcoming crime/action/comedy film 2 Guns, based off the graphic novel of the same name, and it looks like a pairing we never knew we really wanted to have, but we’re glad we do.
I haven’t read the graphic novel, nor (if I’m being honest) did I know it existed – the same goes for the film. It came out of nowhere to me like a delightful surprise. I’m a huge Mark Wahlberg fan and I’m a huge Denzel Washington fan – putting the two of them together could be a stroke of genius. They can both do comedy, they can both do action and they can both do crime, this really could be the perfect pairing for a ‘buddy cop’ style film. The film follows Wahlberg and Washington as special forces and DEA agents respectively, as they’re seemingly set up by the C.I.A. The two must then work together to get to the bottom of things and stay alive while doing so, reluctantly working together to find out what’s going on.
I don’t expect it to change the franchise in anyway whatsoever, but I do expect to have a thoroughly enjoyable time come release day for this film, which could quite easily be one of the gem films of the year.
2 Guns is scheduled for release on August 2nd in the US and August 16th in the UK.
