The Guard

Ireland   Brendan Gleason, Don Cheadle

This was billed as a comedy but there wasn't even the slightest chuckle in it. instead there was a lot of hateful, mean-spirited, racist sarcasm which wasn't amusing...at all. BG plays a foul-mouthed, extremely rude colossal asshole and his death at the end was a boon to civilization and humanity in general.

There were cartoon murders and a by-the-numbers shootout at the end and characters I didn't care at all about due to the anemic development. I guess BG having an equally pig-like mom (mum?) made his behavior OK.

Stupid garbage. A waste of two fine actors.
