Netflix brought "Escape Plan," "The Garfield Movie" and the recently released movie "The Platform 2." This made it an exciting, well-positioned moment, so fans can give these movies another watch.

There's an added benefit of the show coming to Netflix! And there was this fresh wave of fans ready to experience a different, more fun story. With its rating being "barely-Fresh" it may appear as "2 Guns" had just an OK reputation.

  • This rating came in at 64% on Rotten Tomatoes
  • 2 Guns had 66% on Rotten Tomatoes, from viewers.

These scores weren't that super amazing, meaning that it just had enough popularity that didn't push it as the biggest movie that year, the film only came in 55th. You can imagine all those popular films that did much better Escape Plan, Red 2 and even Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa.!
