We haven't had one of these in a couple weeks, and with August starting, I figured it would be time to do another!

2 Guns (2,800+ theaters)
An elaborate scam has a DEA agent (Denzel Washington) and an NCIS agent (Mark Wahlberg) investigating one another in belief that they are stealing money from the mob. But when they realize that they were set up by the CIA, they must work together to return the money and stay alive.
