Leave your thoughts about The Guard.
| MovieFIXWilliam KostakisDelightfully dark, The Guard is the latest buddy comedy classic, and a must-see for fans of Hot Fuzz and In Bruges. |
| CinesnarkSarah MarrsWitty, macabre and funny, The Guard is a well-paced, well-acted movie that should not be missed if you're a fan of crime comedies. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreThe Guard soars along on a script, like those by the other McDonagh (Martin wrote and directed "In Bruges" and the Oscar winning short "Six Shooter," both starring Gleeson) built out of verbal flourishes and Irish curses. |
| Richmond Times-DispatchMike WardThe Guard is raw, modest and charming - maybe the only movie possessing all three characteristics. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Emmet O'CuanaDriven by pitch-perfect performances and a darkly humoured script, this ends up an hysterically funny and immensely enjoyable romp. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanAmong the most purely entertaining films of the year, which cuts its laughter with a dose of Celtic melancholy. It still delivers cop/action requirements - shoot-outs, revenges, daring deeds - and chances are, we'll be quoting lines from this forever. |
| INDY WeekCraig D. LindseyMuch like its protagonist, the film appears to enjoy taking the piss out of its audience, giving them a cynical yet cheeky neo-noir that tweaks the usual conventions and comes up with a story that may be familiar, but is told in fresh fashion. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin Clifford... screenplay combines the overall drama of finding the smugglers and stopping them with some very wry humor, mostly from Gleeson, with his irreverence toward any authority. |
| San Francisco ExaminerRossiter DrakeIt belongs to Gleeson, whose thickly accented growl lends a lyrical quality to McDonagh's wordplay in one of the year's funniest and most spirited offerings. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferWickedly funny and irreverent. The best dark comedy since In Bruges. It will leave you in stitches. |
