Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, 2 Guns is worth clearing space for. 2 Guns gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. A DEA agent and an undercover Naval Intelligence officer who have been tasked with investigating one another find they have been set up by the mob -- the very organization the two men believe they have been stealing money from. Between them, Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It hit screens in 2013. 2 Guns earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, 2 Guns respects your intelligence. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Denzel Washington's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
