Review of The Guard (2011) by Allqualties M — 06 Jan 2012
The Guardâ is an interesting comedy-drama starring Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle. Written and directed by John Michael McDonagh (âIn Brugesâ?), he attains a level of subtlety in the humor that pervades the film and especially in the chemistry and communications between Messrs.
Gleeson and Cheadle. Located and filmed in the County of Galway in Ireland, this film will make you laugh since the characters and story do not take themselves too seriously. Nevertheless you are able to view a thriller with as much action as you might find in any non-comedic movie but with the added attraction of these two male stars who draw you into their escapades with vigor and interest.
I give the film 3 stars and applaud the efforts of all involved. I had a good time watching it.
