2 Guns (2013)

From Netflix:

Two special agents — one Naval intelligence, one DEA — partner for an undercover sting against a drug cartel that takes a serious wrong turn. Disavowed by their agencies, the pair goes on the run while trying to find out who set them up.

Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg make a fun team in this twisting and turning romp. According to the film’s philosophy just about everybody is a crook. Just start off by thinking the pair are just a couple of crooks aiming to rob a bank and let the plot take you by surprise. Many of today’s action films feature clever repartee between characters and this film is no exception. Needless to say the film is violent. As for sex, Paula Patton is slightly naked in just one scene.

Only in our cynical age could such plots be possible. Just because in fact the CIA installed our Pinochet in Chile after murdering Allende is no reason to think that CIA agents might be dishonest.

Have fun!
