Review of The Guard (2011) by John T — 24 Nov 2012
Brendan Gleeson is very funny in this dark comedy. The humor is very dark and at times had me laughing out loud. I did feel that some aspects of the movie didn't translate very well for an American audience.
I also felt that Don Cheadle was underused. His few scenes with Gleeson are among the filmâ(TM)s best. I wish the writer/director had recognized this and given them more screen time together. An entertaining if not overly memorable movie.
