The Guard (1:36) 2011

For those with an Irish sense of humor, this is a movie who may want to see. It comes complete with the funny one liners with the accompanying irreverent look on life and lots of swearing. And the four of us, all of Irish descent. laughed out loud at many lines. The film is set in Galway with scenes of white cottages, rural country roads and the shots of the seacoast. Brendan Gleeson, who often plays a criminal, this time is Gerry O'Boyle who is a member of The Guard. But he isn't exactly on the up and up, either. O'Boyle's new partner arrives from Dublin and promptly disappears after investigating a murder. Don Cheadle soon arrives in Galway as the FBI are tracking a half a billion dollars worth of crack that is thought to be arriving by boat somewhere in the west of Ireland. O'Boyle, who is clearly a racist, is assigned to partner with Cheadle, a straight laced, Yale educated agent. Needless to say, they are the odd couple of cop dramas. As the investigation continues, the two men use their skills and share their knowledge as they race against the clock to discover the location of the drug transfer. Part of me would like to say "Don't be an ejiit, go see this film in reality but it may not be everyone's cup of tea.
