a5c7b9f00b Two hardened criminals get into trouble with the US border patrol after meeting with a Mexican drug lord, and then revelations start to unfold. Robert Trench, an undercover DEA agent, takes advantage of gunman Michael Stigman's idea to rob a bank to bust him and a mob boss. However, it proves too successful with much more money seized than anticipated with Trench's forces not stopping the getaway. Complicating things still more, Stigman turns out to be a Naval Intelligence agent who shoots Trench and takes the money. The interservice debacle suddenly finds Trench and Stigman in a bloody web of corrupt clandestine rivalries as they are hunted, blackmailed and isolated for the money on both sides of the law. Now, the fugitives must work together to find a way out of this situation with no one to turn to but themselves. Film quality was great, acting on par, and action appropriately over the top but enjoyable. I had the awesome experience of watching this while pulling a 24 hour duty shift for the Army. It was exactly what I expected, and is one of the best bromance comedy-action movies of recent years. The way that Denzel W. and Mark W. banter back in forth is hilarious, and the action scenes are well shot out and entertaining at perfect levels of crazy. The characters in general in this movie are great by reaching perfect levels of what they are suppose to be in a cliché type film such as this one. They are annoying without being at the lame end of the spectrum. There is also a great level of….shall we say…bare skin to attract people in a sensual manner as well. Overall exactly what I expected in a movie of this variety, and if you want a great action flick, watch this one. I give this 8/10 stars and I will be buying this on BluRay/DVD. Review: This movie wasn't as good as I thought that it would be, don't get me wrong, it is watchable, but for some unknown reason, I lost interest after a while. The character were good and t hen chemistry between Wahlberg and Washington was good, but there was just way to much going on. The action was OK and some of the scenes were quite funny, but if you take your eyes off the screen for 5 minutes, your going to loose the plot. It's none stop from beginning to end and Mark Wahlberg really does chat a lot through the whole movie, but it's a fun ride. Watchable!<br/><br/>Round-Up: It's good to see Denzel Washington to comedy, in his usual cool way, and both actors really seemed like they had fun making this movie. It's full of corruption, action and a few witty jokes, but it just goes from one instance to another which made it over complicated. Apart from that, it's a typical buddy comedy with 2 actors who are at the peak of there careers. <br/><br/>Budget: $61million Worldwide Gross: $132million<br/><br/>I recommend this movie to people who are into there action/comedy movies about 2 guys who do a bank job and the baddies wanting the money back. 6/10 Viewer/character solidarity only holds up for so long, and the film falls hard into twisty, nonsense territory, skipping over its stronger themes in the process.
