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.
