Synopsis - The Guard
The Guard
Dir John Michael McDonagh (Ireland/UK 2011) 96 mins
With: Brendan Gleason, Don Cheadle
To call Gerry Boyle an unorthodox police officer is putting it mildly; he seems to be set on the road to ruin via all seven deadly sins until he lands the biggest case of his life and some less than welcome help from the FBI.
Written and directed by the brother of Three Billboards director, Martin McDonnagh, it shares the robust humour and idiosyncratic sense of justice and morality. Not for the easily offended!
