CONTRABAND director Baltasar Kormákur hit the top of the US box-office with his re-teaming with Mark Wahlberg for the action-packed adaptation Steve Grant’s graphic novel 2 GUNS. The film pits Wahlberg’s undercover navy officer against unknowing DEA agent Denzel Washington. However, they’re forced to band together when a job they’re pulling off has corrupt CIA officials on their tail.
Check out this latest poster for the film arriving the UK on this Friday. It co-stars Bill Paxton, Paula Patton, James Marsden, Edward James Olmos, Evie Thompson.
Academy Award® winner Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg lead an all-star cast in 2 Guns, an explosive action film that tracks two operatives from competing bureaus who are forced on the run together. But there is a big problem with their unique alliance: Neither knows that the other is an undercover federal agent.
For the past 12 months, DEA agent Bobby Trench (Washington) and U.S. naval intelligence officer Marcus Stigman (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.
