Actor: Brendan Gleeson. However, despite the fact that Boyle seems more interested in mocking and undermining Everett than in actively working to solve the case, he finds that circumstances keep pulling him back into the thick of it.

ReviewsBoston Globe - The movie is more pure, profane enjoyment than a body should have in the dog days of August., Arizona Republic - A fantastically entertaining movie., Empire - Among the most purely entertaining films of the year, which cuts its laughter with a dose of Celtic melancholy. It still delivers cop/action requirements - shoot-outs, revenges, daring deeds - and chances are, we'll be quoting lines from this forever., Chicago Sun-Times - The Guard is a pleasure. I can't tell if it's really (bleeping) dumb or really (bleeping) smart, but it's pretty (bleeping) good., Portland Oregonian - The film has visual and verbal flair, spry energy and deep wit.

  • Brilliant DVD

    What a cracking all action DVD, some people might have problems with the accent but it was fine for me. I t just had the lot so not for the timid or prudish, it was really funny too (black humour sometimes), one of the best around for a long time. Great end too.....I will say no more, just buy it and see for yourself!
