2 Guns Review

Movie: 2 Guns

Release Date: August 2013

Starring:  Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg, Paula Patton

Even though I was skeptical about watching 2 Guns, reason being I thought it was Denzel’s “lazy film”*, I couldn't stop laughing. Wahlberg and Washington were a flawless team: far from a “lazy film” for Denzel, and nothing but perfection from Mark.

Here’s what happens, Bobby, a DEA agent (played by Denzel Washington) and a naval intelligence officer (Mark Wahlberg), both undercover, find themselves on the run after a botched attempt to infiltrate a drug cartel. While fleeing and causing havoc we meet the amazing cast of this film. Bill Paxton as Earl, a crooked, CIA agent really did a number with his character, never concealing his undoubtedly love for Russian Roulette. Fred Ward, Edward James Olmos, James Marsden and the beautiful Paula Patton also graced this gun shooting, chicken torturing, money hungry, crime-busting film.

All in all 2 Guns was one of the best action movies for 2012. I loved it! I gave it a 8/10.

*Lazy Film- I consider it to be when an actor/actress has done so many action/suspense/drama/crime films in his/her prime that he/she is just taking it easy nowadays by undertaking comedy.

Now You See Me Review

Movie: Now You See Me
Release Date: May 2013
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson.

This isn't your average magician movie. This is way past your “Fly away Peter, Fly away Paul” trick your parents use to pull when you were a child. This is SPARTA! I keed.

NOW YOU SEE ME pits an elite FBI squad in a game of cat and mouse against "The Four Horsemen", a super-team of the world's greatest illusionists. The four illusionists, (Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson and Dane Franco), plays a Robin Hood role as they pull off a series of daring heists against corrupt business leaders during their performances, showering the stolen profits on their audiences.

Each actor/tress brought his/her charter to the film. I don’t think Eisenberg, the good guy you hate to love, could play a less arrogant and cynical person. Harrelson, always a kidder (Lol: “…and by HAS BEEN if you’re referring to me I’m flattered, because I’ve always considered myself as a NEVER WAS”), Ruffalo, who I consider as HULK in every movie and the rest of the gang all no doubt brought this slick crime flick to its knees.

Listen, this movie kept me at the edge of my seat. It’s also one of Louis Leterrier, (director), finest work and a film you won’t get tired of easily. I love it! Tell me how you liked the ending?
Ratings: 9/10
