Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington’s 64% Rotten Tomatoes Action-Comedy Just Found a New Free Streaming Home

Back in the summer of 2013, Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg teamed up for 2 Guns, a slick, no-nonsense buddy action-comedy that paired two of Hollywood’s biggest stars for a tale of double crosses, explosions, and bickering bromance. Now, after a decade of flying somewhat under the radar, 2 Guns is about to get a new lease on life — this time, on the free streaming platform Tubi, starting July 1. If you missed it the first time around, or just want to relive the chaotic charm of Wahlberg and Washington’s unlikely duo, this is your moment.

Directed by Baltasar Kormákur (Everest), 2 Guns 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 knows the other is undercover. It’s like wearing the same outfit to a party, how embarrassing for them. The two men are pretending to be criminals in order to infiltrate a drug cartel, but when their plan goes sideways and they’re cut loose by their respective agencies, the pair must go rogue together to survive. But of course. It’s classic odd-couple chaos: guns, quips, and trust issues galore. Like a first date on Tinder.

Was ‘2 Guns’ Worth Seeing?

The cast is stacked beyond the two leads, too. 2 Guns features the late, great Bill Paxton in one of his most memorable villainous turns, as well as Paula Patton, James Marsden, Robert John Burke, Edward James Olmos, and Fred Ward. The film was based on the BOOM! Studios comic series by Steven Grant and Mateus Santolouco, with a screenplay by Blake Masters (Brotherhood). While it didn’t quite set the critical world on fire — sitting at 64% on Rotten Tomatoes— it was widely seen as a fun, fast-paced throwback to the kind of action movies they just don’t make that often anymore.

Financially, 2 Guns did fine — earning over $131 million worldwide on a budget of $61 million. That kind of performance usually raises eyebrows for sequel potential, and in fact, there were talks of a follow-up at the time.

“We, of course, would love to do a sequel and we are pushing for a sequel,” producer Randall Emmett told Collider at the time. “It comes down to Denzel and Mark and the director, Baltasar… they have to make that decision.”

2 Guns begins streaming for free on Tubi starting July 1.
