The Guard (2011)


An Irish country cop has a new partner, F.B.I. agents, and an international drug smuggling ring dropped into his tea and screws up an otherwise lovely morning. This is comedy the way I like it, dry and rapid fire. Sort of a Beverly Hills Cop in reverse where the straight man is the transplant and the rest of the world is wacky. Everything comes in just the right portions of comedy, drama, action and warm fuzzy tacked on the end. The language is Irish and what else would it be ya fucking cunt! If that doesn't throw you off then this may be a good choice for those looking for something light but not without intelligence. Definitely a feel good film. Highly recommended.
