Contraband, and now he is paired up with the actor again, along with Academy Award winner Denzel Washington. According to director, who spoke with
Collider, the film will be more fun element to the action that was not seen in

2 Guns director.
2 GUNS - Academy Award® winner Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg lead an all-star cast in 2 Guns, an explosive action film that tracks two operatives from competing bureaus who are forced on the run together. But there is a big problem with their unique alliance: Neither knows that the other is an undercover federal agent.
For the past 12 months, DEA agent Bobby Trench (Washington) and U.S. naval intelligence officer Marcus Stigman (Wahlberg) have been reluctantly attached at the hip. Working undercover as members of a narcotics syndicate, each man distrusts his partner as much as the criminals they have both been tasked to take down.
When their attempt to infiltrate a Mexican drug cartel and recover millions goes haywire, Trench and Stigman are suddenly disavowed by their superiors.

Unfortunately for their pursuers, when good guys spend years pretending to be bad, they pick up a few tricks along the way.
