Title: The Guard
Post by: boltthrow on September 27, 2012, 01:36:04 PM
Made by the brother of the guy who did "In Bruges" and delightfully similar in tone.  

Both star Brendan Gleeson (this time he's with Don Cheadle not Colin Farrell).  

Both are kinda quirky crime dramas, sometimes a touch too quirky but mostly surprising and well-done.

It showed up from Netflix and I couldn't remember why I'd put it on my list so I knew nothing going and the whole thing was pretty goddamn terrific.

Warning: there's a lot of heavily-accented Irish so I probably only got 75% of what they were saying.

But watch it!!

Not as great as In Bruges but close.

Can't wait for this one:

Saw this a few months ago and from what I remember this was a good movie.
