Reviews for this film from our members:
- Marco Albanese @ Stanze di Cinema [Italian]
- Excerpt: Il film di Kormakur che ha aperto il Festival di Locarno lo scorso mese di agosto è un curioso oggetto cinematografico, che sarebbe stato perfetto per il compianto Tony Scott. Di quel cinema in costante movimento ricicla topoi e personaggi, senso del ritmo e superficialità, per ricostruire un perfetto meccanismo d’azione, fondato ancora una volta su una coppia antitetica eppure costretta a collaborare.

- Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
- Excerpt: reminded me of a crappy direct-to-video action movie with a bigger budget and A-list stars
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Washington and Wahlberg have the terrific chemistry necessary for a bromance…even if director Baltasar Kormákur hasn’t kept his movie as light on its feet as it should be, weighed down by its great, clanking mechanical plot.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: As drolly cynical as 2 Guns is, it’s this very basic sense of chemistry between the leads that really bolsters the film.
- Candice Frederick @ Reel Talk
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Bang! Bang! Boring…

- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Oddly took some advice not intended for movies: “Be specific but not memorable. Be funny but don’t make ’em laugh.”
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: The two stars’ chemistry and swagger count for a lot when the material is ordinary, but such elements go only so far to help this so-close-but-no-cigar misfire’s case.
- Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
- Brent McKnight @ Beyond Hollywood
- Excerpt: 2 Guns doesn’t venture anywhere new, but it’s a fun change up from a summer of superheroes and robots.
- Simon Miraudo @ Quickflix
- R. Kurt Osenlund @ Slant Magazine
- Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
- Excerpt: The best thing 2 Guns has to offer – the only thing, maybe, that keeps it on its feet – is the dynamic between its two leads.
- Jerry Roberts @ Armchair Cinema
- Excerpt: An all-star cast is upstaged by piles of money.
- Josh Spiegel @ Sound on Sight
- Excerpt: The charm to 2 Guns is that it’s content to not try too hard.
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: A giddily over-the-top affair that no one could take seriously, but it works.
