The newest film in our top 10 cop duos, 2 Guns, takes a different angle from the other films on our list. Robert Trench (Denzel Washington) is an undercover DEA agent, and he assists Michael Stigman (Mark Wahlberg) in stealing $3million from a mob boss in order to prosecute him for money laundering. However, it later transpires that Stigman is an undercover Naval Intelligence Officer, and he is under the orders of a corrupt naval plan to use the money to fund covert operations. The plot thickens, and eventually Stigman and Trench find themselves having to join forces as they are being blackmailed and hunted on both sides of the law.
