THE GUARD Official film Web Trailer

In cinemas across Ireland from July 7th 2011. THE GUARD is a comedy-thriller set on the west coast of Ireland. Sergeant Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleeson) is a small-town cop with a confrontational personality, a subversive sense of humour, a dying mother, a fondness for prostitutes, and absolutely no interest whatsoever in the international cocaine-smuggling ring that has brought FBI agent Wendell Everett (Don Cheadle) to his door.

However, despite the fact that Boyle seems more interested in mocking and undermining Everett than in actively working to solve the case, Boyle finds that circumstances keep pulling him back into the thick of it. First his tiresomely enthusiastic new partner disappears, then his favourite hooker attempts to blackmail him into turning a blind eye, and finally the drug-traffickers themselves try to buy him off as they have every other member of the local police force.

These events unwittingly offend Boyle's murky moral code. He realises that he needs to take matters into his own hands, and the only person he can trust is Everett. And so the scene is set for an explosive finale.

wtf are people complaing about? look up the defintion of satire before you moan about racist steotyping.

for those too lasy to look it up "trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly"

Brilliant, classic & soo funny I was in tears!!! Brendan Gleesan is pukka!

[OfficialHater2011]

This movie was brilliant

[connemaraman]

Absolutely class film. Filmed a few miles from me. I can watch anything Brendan Gleesan is in. No, its not 'polically correct' but thats the charm. Gleesans character is taking the piss, having laugh and purely winding up the FBI fella. Its a comedy for fecks sake.

An absolute gem.

Fresh storyline not following the Hollywood conveyor belt. Hilarious...

I do fear that many of the jokes may be lost on non-Irish, particularly Americans but informed Britains will laugh hard at this. There's some banter about Brits /Irish /IRA etc in both directions and it's good to see the piss being taken on the silver screen about serious history... shows how far beyond that everyone is now.

The irreverence of Brendan Gleeson's character, the "Last of the Independents"

Why is Brendan Gleeson always scratching his nuts in this film? This is only a trailer and we see him do it twice already. Maybe if I watch the movie, i'll know...lol.

@wotsgonon1 I'm sorry I obviously really upset you with my comment. I take it back, it is clearly a classic and I have no taste. By the way are you afraid of over using the space bar or is it your intent to make your comments hard to read.
