The Guard [Blu-ray]

The key players are superb. Brendan Gleasan is amazing. Wonderful settings as well. Get this...you will be glad you did!

This is a well written film which is acted and directed pitch perfectly by John Mcdonagh. If you like InBruges (directed by brother Michael) you will like this. Great performances thru out. Cheadle and Gleason shine.

Being a retired police officer I really enjoyed this movie which I rate as the best cop flick of the year. Gleeson is superb as an old timer who does things his way. The barbs he trades with Cheadles character are priceless and had me LMAO. Watching this movie with some retired LE friends, they all loved it and highly recommend it to others. This is one of those sleeper foreign films that should have had wider release here in the US. A dark comedy showing that police work is the same no matter what country you're in. Great movie, I bought several as Christmas gifts for friends it was so good.

Dark, hilarious with a fantastic plot and even better directing and editing. Great comedy like this is hard to find, and Gleeson performance is completely unforgettable. Don Cheadle also does a great job as being the sort of "voice of reason" in the world of law enforcement, and the dialogue between the two of these actors is worth the price of admission alone. I highly recommend this film for anyone who has a darker sense of humor. If you enjoyed In Bruges or Seven Psychopaths, then you will likely enjoy this film.

I enjoyed it

We saw this movie when it came out and thought it was absolutely hilarious. We have been re-watching our favorite movies during the shut-down and when we remembered this one we had to order it. It didn't disappoint. Not recommended for the easily offended.

Well written and acted. May be a little difficult for some to understand all that is said. The accent can be problematical. Recommend using the English subtitles, if needed. I like it so much, I bought the movie.

I was entertained and admired how clever and subtle this movie was. While not a great action adventure it was brain candy which made me smile and showed me 'another' way of looking at things that I had never considered. I recomended it to all my friends and do so to you also. If you are like me you will finish with a smile of satisfacation and contentment that only comes from a good meal or good movie.
