The Guard (2011)

Director: John Michael McDonagh
Writer:    John Michael McDonagh
Cast:      Brendan Gleeson, Don Cheadle, Mark Strong
An unorthodox Irish Policeman (Gleeson) with a confrontational personality is teamed up with an uptight FBI agent (Cheadle) to investigate an international drug-smuggling ring.

Its a buddy cop film in the vein of 'Hot Fuzz' with its intentionally cliched scenes. It has an interesting set of villains with their philosophical musings. Its a good little film without achieving the level of "Hot Fuzz'.

Rating: 3/5
