Again in the summertime of 2013, Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg teamed up for 2 Weapons, a slick, no-nonsense buddy action-comedy that paired two of Hollywood’s greatest stars for a story of double crosses, explosions, and bickering bromance. Now, after a decade of flying considerably below the radar, 2 Weapons is about to get a brand new lease on life — this time, on the free streaming platform Tubi, beginning July 1. In the event you missed it the primary time round, or simply need to relive the chaotic allure of Wahlberg and Washington’s unlikely duo, that is your second.
Directed by Baltasar Kormákur (Everest), 2 Weapons follows Robert “Bobby Beans” Trench (Washington), an undercover DEA agent, and Michael “Stig” Stigman (Wahlberg), an undercover U.S. Navy SEAL. The kicker? Neither of them is aware of the opposite is undercover. It is like carrying the identical outfit to a celebration, how embarrassing for them. The 2 males are pretending to be criminals as a way to infiltrate a drug cartel, however when their plan goes sideways and so they’re minimize unfastened by their respective businesses, the pair should go rogue collectively to outlive. However after all. It’s traditional odd-couple chaos: weapons, quips, and belief points galore. Like a primary date on Tinder.

The forged is stacked past the 2 leads, too. 2 Weapons options the late, nice Invoice Paxton in considered one of his most memorable villainous turns, in addition to Paula Patton, James Marsden, Robert John Burke, Edward James Olmos, and Fred Ward. The movie was primarily based on the BOOM! Studios comedian sequence by Steven Grant and Mateus Santolouco, with a screenplay by Blake Masters (Brotherhood).
