Touted as an action comedy, 2 Guns for most part, delivers it.

Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg play the roles of two cons who’s background come to play spoil sport in what otherwise should have been one last mission as a team. Soon each is pitted against each other and once they know their real backgrounds, they unite on a common goal.

The movie takes the route of old Telugu multi-starrers when heroes are friends at first, then hate each other and then come together for one last bang in the third act 🙂

Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg bring the amount of star power and chemistry and required for the roles and pull it off pretty easily.

Even though a fan of Denzel Washington, I watched all his movies on TV. This is the first I watched on big screen. And there lies some disappointment 🙂

Ron Howard over the years has made a reputation for himself as a master storyteller and he proves it yet again with his latest offering ”Rush”.

Rush is a biographical action film  about the 1976 Formula One season and the rivalry between drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Both as different as chalk and cheese have one thing in common–their unflinching desire to win. While James Hunt sort of roughshods his way into glory by his flamboyance, Niki Lauda leaves his mark with his technical and meticulous nature. Ron Howard and his writer exploit these aspects at the start of the movie and build on it.  The result is a pacy movie that exploits racing backdrop to the extent that is required for story telling.

True to Ron Howard, his story telling craft never gets lost in the hustle bustle of the racing spectacles.
