Two policemen must join forces to take on an international drug- smuggling gang - one, an unorthodox Irish policeman and the other, a straitlaced FBI agent. Sergeant Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleason) is an eccentric small-town cop with a confrontational and crass personality and a subversive sense of humor. A longtime policeman in County Galway, Boyle is a maverick with his own moral code. He has seen enough of the world to know there isn't much to it and has had plenty of time to think about it. When a fellow police officer disappears and Boyle's small town becomes key to a large drug trafficking investigation, he is forced to at least feign interest when dealing with the humorless FBI agent Wendell Everett (Don Cheadle) assigned to the case. -- (C) Sony Pictures

New Review For Movie The Guard
Although The Guard is primarily a language romp, it's also a terrific showcase for veteran pug-faced character actor Brendan Gleeson.
Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail Brendan Gleeson is a blooming marvel.
Peter Howell-Toronto Star Crisp, acid-tongued and sharply acted, it's the sort of exercise in tangy Celtic cynicism that's become one of the Emerald Isle's most reliable imports.
Amy Biancolli-Houston Chronicle There are few things finer in cinema than Brendan Gleeson's fat, happy face.
Tom Long-Detroit News McDonagh's script is agile, darting between the ridiculous, the sage and the surprisingly sentimental. His love of language and the absurd has hints of the wisecracking Quentin Tarantino. But the story is decidedly more rooted in Ireland's loamy turf.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post "The Guard" is violent, profane and funny.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch A laugh-out-loud comedy as hard as "The French Connection," a modern spaghetti Western on the windswept wastes of Ireland."
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service This film belongs to Gleeson - he seems to have effortlessly conjured up a complex and charismatic mix of world-weariness and caring, all wrapped up in that enigmatic Irish charm.
Simon Weaving-Screenwize John Michael McDonagh is having a lot of fun deconstructing the cop procedural in The Guard, because almost nothing goes as planned and everything has a satirical bent. It is a very funny black comedy with a stylish palette.
Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com An impressive performance by Brendan Gleeson as an eccentric, independent and surly cop in a small Irish seaside town.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice Self-conscious gestures in the direction of fish-out-of-water comedies, buddy-cop movies and Westerns don't amount to much in and of themselves, but they tie together as a functional clothesline for character comedy... [Blu-ray]
Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews The Guard offers an offbeat take on a genre without skimping on the violence or gunplay.
Jim Schembri-The Age (Australia) Gleeson's enigmatic character: really smart or really dumb?
Marty Mapes-Movie Habit Despite its flaws it remains entertaining, good for a few laughs.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews This impressive directing debut is a well acted, caustically funny Irish thriller, a classic fish out of water comedy
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com For all of its seeming conventions, this surprisingly plot-heavy character drama is a wonderfully UNconventional cops-and-robbers picture.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune McDonagh's older brother John Michael McDonagh has done him one better with the awesome new The Guard.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid Has the promised elements -- though the action isn't very over-the-top -- but it has an inner depth that isn't normally found in films of its supposed type.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) The film's more interested in spending quality time with this unlikely pair than solving crimes. Thanks to McDonagh's sparkling script and some charming central performances, you will be too.
Matt Glasby-Flicks.co.nz It's not exactly Ireland's answer to Hot Fuzz, [but] the film is a darkly humorous take on the buddy cop genre that fans of the British comedy will enjoy.
Jason Zingale-Bullz-Eye.com The Guard is raw, modest and charming - maybe the only movie possessing all three characteristics.
Mike Ward-Richmond.com Writer-director John Michael McDonagh's film plays like a cynical, foul-mouthed version of "In the Heat of the Night."
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) Amusingly subversive, it's filled with nasty, impudent Irish humor.
Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate The Guard is a vulgar, Irish treat. While many movies recently have ended with contrivance and disappointment, McDonagh's ending is satisfying. And his choice of the last song is ideal. But the dialogue of The Guard still is a puzzlement to me. WTF?
Tony Macklin-tonymacklin.net The Guard is terrific entertainment, and I can't wait to re-watch it on Blu-ray, when I can turn on the subtitles and catch the handful of lines I couldn't locate under those thick brogues.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing Funny and entertaining from first moment to last...
