The Guard

The Guard

Oh Man!  See this!  Don Cheadle proves again that a well known actor's best work often comes from a pretty unknown film.  This film rocked and it rocked not only because of Cheadle, but mostly because of the film's star: Brendan Gleeson.  In short, a large shipment of drugs is to come onshore somewhere on the Irish Coast.  To intercept it, the US sends in an FBI agent (Cheadle) to educate the local cops...Gleeson. 

Just some of the stuff in here was too funny and it was a good pop in an otherwise pretty serious crime drama.  The acting was great, the directing was awesome, the script was killer, the cinematography was really cool (and makes Ireland a place I have to go), and the music; well, it had to be good as I didn't even notice it.  This means that it neither took away nor went over the top.
