FFA Private Bank
hosted the Middle East premiere of the Hollywood blockbuster 2 Guns, a
movie starring Denzel Washington and Mark Whalberg, on August 21st at
Grand Cinemas in ABC Achrafieh. Co-financed by FFA Private Bank, which
represents more than half of the movie’s equity financing, 2 Guns
(budget of USD 86M) is an action-comedy movie that reached the #1 spot
at the US box office upon its release.
The movie, written by Blake Masters (Law & Order)
and directed by Baltasar Kormákur (Contraband), is based on a 5-issue
graphic comic book by Steven Grant. 2 Guns is a pulp story that talks
about cops and thieves and the men that are something in between. In the
graphic novel, Bobby (Oscar and Golden Globe winner Denzel Washington)
has targeted a local bank to rob, and asked Stig (Oscar and Golden Globe
nominee Mark Wahlberg) in on the job. Bobby figures it's a great way to
score – considering it's a cover for mob money. They'll be thieves
ripping off thieves. But what Stig doesn't know is that Bobby is a DEA
agent. And what Bobby doesn't know is that Stig's got his own secret and
isn't who he appears to be.
