The Guard 2010

The Guard (2010)     Irish cop Gerry Boyle teams up with an American FBI agent to take down a gang of international drug traffickers.  Boyle is an eccentric small town cop with a confrontational and crass personality.  Wendell Everette is as straitlaced as they come, the book must be followed to crack this case.
     This is a comedy but I did not find it funny at all?  It has a lot of language and the crimes are serious?  Several times I just wanted to stop watching.  3* (This movie is OK)

96 min, Comedy directed by John Michael McDonagh with Brendan Gleeson, Don Cheadle, Rory Keenan, Liam Cunningham, David Wilmot, Mark Strong, Fionnula Flanagan, Mark Strong.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, imdb 7.3 out of 10, 95% critic 81% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
