Review of The Guard (2011) by Dann M — 04 Mar 2012
The Guard is a dark comedy with some entertaining moments, but suffers from some storytelling issues. The story follows an unconventional Irish policeman who teams up with an FBI officer to uncover an international drug trafficking ring.
Brendan Gleason and Don Cheadle lead the cast and give solid performances. However, the film juggles too many storylines and isn't able to bring them all together in a satisfying way. While The Guard has some fun moments and some good comedy bits, it comes up short in the end.
