Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving, because we’re back on what I like to call an equation day. What’s that, you may ask? Well, it’s when the numbers in the date form a legit mathematical equation. For today, 12 + 3 = 15. Or 3 + 12 = 15, if you’re in the UK. Going past that quirk of my mind, let’s settle down for a Classic Snippet that would have been more topical coming out on Thanksgiving. Also, since we’re approaching award season, let’s look at an Academy Award nominated classic from recent years. Enjoy.

2 Guns, at the end of the day, is a movie that is just good enough. It does not excel anywhere, but it is not horrible either. The character interactions are the high points of the movie, especially between Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg, who give some very funny lines. Wahlberg is growing to be a very accomplished action-comedian, even if he seems to be typecast as cops constantly. However, the film’s downfall is that it takes itself too seriously at times and attempts to juggle the serious and comedic elements quite unevenly. Had it gone for a full action-comedy, it would have been much better for it. But as it stands, 2 Guns is good enough.
