Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that 2 Guns is an action comedy starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg that has plenty of strong language, violence, and sex. The violence includes up-close executions, torture, and the death of a female hostage. Two sex scenes aren't overly explicit but do show a topless woman -- mostly talking and kissing a shirtless man -- for quite a while. Language includes many uses of "f--k," "s--t," "a--hole," and "bitch." The U.S. government's agencies -- like the DEA and the CIA -- are shown to be just as corrupt as the Mexican drug dealers they keep in check. Ultimately, this is a buddy film about two skilled men seeking justice and blowing things up in the process.
Sexual
Content
Paula Patton does a nude scene with Denzel Washington. He's shirtless in bed; she's topless and wearing tiny panties. There aren't any scenes of them embracing/having sex, but they're shown either right before or right after a couple of times, in bed, talking and kissing while her breasts are showing.
Violence
Lots of violence, plenty of it featuring guns. Explosions, close-range executions, torture, and hand-to-hand fighting. A man likes to use a Russian Roulette-style approach on others in order to extract information. Stig shoots Bobby in the shoulder. A drug dealer's thugs have a man's head in a bag. A drug kingpin shoots a hostage. There are a few long fist fights, and the body count includes most of the secondary cast.
Language
Frequent strong language includes "f--k," "s--t," "a--hole," "c--k," "bitch," "ass," "damn," "hell," "crap," "oh my God," "goddamn," and more.
Social
Behavior
Amid the corruption/violence, the overarching messages are that you shouldn't blindly follow orders without knowing why you're doing something and that everyone needs someone to "have their back" and believe in them even when no one else will.
Consumerism
Car brands/logos seen include Chrysler 500, Dodge Challenger, Ford.
