2 Guns is an action-comedy directed by Baltasar Kormákur, written by Blake Masters and adapted from a comic by Steven Grant. Starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg, this buddy movie combines humor, shootouts and plot twists. Originally released in theaters in 2013, it will be available for streaming on HBO Max from August 2025, allowing audiences to rediscover this rhythmic, explosive entertainment.
The trailer highlights the comedic complicity between Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg, between gunfights and the fast-paced dialogue typical of buddy movies.
2 Guns will be broadcast on HBO Max from August 29, 2025.
Synopsis: Bobby and Stig are two undercover agents who don't know they belong to different agencies. When their mission goes wrong and their superiors abandon them, they find themselves hunted from all sides. Forced to join forces to survive, they use their skills as fake thugs against those who want to eliminate them.
2 Guns follows in the tradition of buddy movies, those action films centered on a mismatched duo who must cooperate despite their differences. Following in the footsteps of L'Arme Fatale and Bad Boys, it combines humor, spectacular sequences and complicit rivalries between its two main characters.
Denzel Washington, already accustomed to the roles of policeman and undercover agent(Training Day, American Gangster), shares the bill here with Mark Wahlberg, known for Pain & Gain and Transformers. Their duet is based on a contrast of temperaments that fuels the film's light-hearted tone. Paula Patton completes the cast with a central role in the plot.
2 Guns will appeal to audiences who enjoy action comedies, fast-paced crime films and undercover stories. Fans of films such as 22 Jump Street, Bad Boys or Heat may find similar themes here, between spectacular confrontations and humor based on the chemistry of the main duo.
Directed by Baltasar Kormákur, already behind Contreband and later Everest, the film adapts a comic book, relying on the effectiveness of its cast and a balanced mix of humor and action. With its arrival on HBO Max, the film joins the catalog of action films starring major Hollywood stars.
