2 Guns

"Kormakur shows he knows his way around an action movie better than most, keeping the pace quick, the banter lively and the old-school, mostly CGI-free thrills delivering right on schedule" 

"The picture survives its excesses thanks to winning chemistry between stars (...), who animate banter-heavy dialogue and click so well one wonders why they haven't shared the screen before" 

"Mr. Kormakur sets and keeps up a fast rather than frantic pace that never runs the movie off the rails even when the story nearly does" 

"Hell, I really meant to at least like '2 Guns'. But I couldn't. The movie just didn't make the extra effort (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)" 

"'2 Guns' is a much-needed reminder that the best summer surprises can come when you least expect them" 

"Pure charisma is sometimes the best special effect. That’s what Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg bring to '2 Guns', and after a season full of superhero duds, they deliver a crucial dose of cool (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)" 

"Kormakur lays out an action sequence with a swiftness and a coherence missing from many other pictures (...) The bantering stars remain front and center throughout (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)" 

"By its conclusion the story has worked so hard to be twisting and clever that it runs out of steam and becomes outlandish, marked by a surplus of violence — too often casual and gratuitous — for what essentially is a buddy cop movie (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"
