The Guard
Directed by John Michael McDonaghSergeant Gerry Boyle is a small-town Irish cop with a confrontational personality, a subversive sense of humor, a dying mother, a fondness for prostitutes, and absolutely no interest whatsoever in the international cocaine-smuggling ring that has brought straight-laced FBI agent Wendell Everett to his door.

The Guard Ratings & Reviews
- rhacarOctober 9, 2025Fun, witty, irreverent
- NiztradamusAugust 12, 2025No woke bullshit, just good old Irish humor. Loved it! Definitely worth a watch. The audio mix could have been better though. Sometimes it was really hard to make out what they were saying between the Irish accent, a bit of mumbling and the slightly muddy audio track. Still, great movie!
