The Guard review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 01/26/2012
Sgt. Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleeson) and Everett (Don Cheadle) try to capture an international drug smuggling gang. Some of the funny lines from the film: Boyle – “I'm Irish. Racism is part of my culture.” “Like the fat man said, if you have to be careful not to drink too much, it's because you're not to be trusted when you do.” Only qualms this reviewer had are the peculiar dialogue makes you think if there are people who talk like that, unresolved ending (in the special features Cheadle made a funny remark about it) and the few scenes were not related to the plot whic kind of destroyed the mood of the pace. Soundtrack, performances, direction and script were all fantastic nevertheless. The Guard is worth a look for those who enjoy dark comedies such as this critic.
