John Michael McDonagh is one talented screenwriter and director. His filmography led me to ”The guard”, dark
humored tale of the corrupted and politically incorrect policeman who likes
drugs, alcohol and prostitutes and who, by chance, becomes the final obstacle
between the trio of ruthless Irish drug smugglers that obtain heroin for the
Ireland via Atlantic.
Brendan Gleeson is great in his lead role, while Mark Strong and Don Cheadle present a
decent backup. Script is harsh, insulting and quite funny from time to time,
but still falls short in terms of consistency.
”The
Guard” is one solid dark humored comedy with an attitude.
