Review of The Guard (2011) by Eric D — 25 Mar 2012
Some good humor and a great performance from Gleeson don't make up for a pretty dull plot. I have to say I was a bit taken off guard (ha!) by the Irish flavour of it all; while fresh and different, it was also a bit confusing.
A plus and a minus at the same time, really. Really though, the whole film feels completely pointless, and the story could be summarized in a sentence. It's a decent watch for Gleeson and its oddities, but you won't really take anything out of it.
