Here's what the critics are saying:

Though individual set pieces are well done, the film inevitably leaves an empty taste behind it once it's done. — Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

Big guns, cool cars, tough talk and hats rule the day in “2 Guns,” a cliche-ridden action comedy starring Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington in which the chemistry between the two stars packs far more heat than the explosions. — Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post

It's a complete mess, the spectacle of filmmakers blowing up their movie and everything in it, because they can't think of anything else to do. — Mike LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

It's shallow, simplistic and suffers any time the two leads aren't sharing scenes or trading insults, threats and wisecracks. — Barbara Vancheri, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
