First Featurette Introduces Washington & Wahlberg’s ‘2 Guns’

Considering it’s graphic novel origin (created by Steve Grant), THN were surprised action comedy 2 GUNS didn’t make its presence felt in San Diego’s Comic Con event. Still, we’re excited to see what’s in store for the film starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg as unknowing, undercover government agents involved a million dollar drug deal. Their DEA agent and naval intelligence officer find themselves betrayed by their employers and on the run after a botched attempt to infiltrate a cartel.

For the past 12 months, DEA agent Bobby Trench (Denzel Washington) and U.S. naval intelligence officer Marcus Stigman (Mark Wahlberg) have been reluctantly attached at the hip. Working undercover as members of a narcotics syndicate, each man distrusts his partner as much as the criminals they have both been tasked to take down. When their attempt to infiltrate a Mexican drug cartel and recover millions goes haywire, Trench and Stigman are suddenly disavowed by their superiors. Now that everyone wants them in jail or in the ground, the only person they can count on is the other. Unfortunately for their pursuers, when good guys spend years pretending to be bad, they pick up a few tricks along the way.

2 GUNS is released in the US on 2nd August 2013, and the UK on the 16th August. It co-stars Bill Paxton, Paula Patton, James Marsden, Edward James Olmos and Evie Thompson. Check out this first featurette that introduces us the unlucky duo and their sticky predicament.
