The Guard (Dir. John Michael McDonagh, 2011)
An unorthodox Irish policeman with a confrontational personality (Brendan Gleeson) is partnered with an uptight FBI agent (Don Cheadle) to investigate an international drug-smuggling ring in this offbeat black comedy set against a scenic backdrop of rural Galway.

Doors Open 7pm, Film 7.15pm
1 hour 30 minutes (no interval)
Age Guidance: Rated 18

“The funniest action comedy for a long time.”
Little White Lies

“Among 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.“
Empire

“Great fun when taken in the right spirit, which would be Old Paddy with a Guinness chaser.”
The Guardian

“Rudely funny and faintly melancholic… screenwriter John Michael McDonagh’s directorial debut is a stylish lark whose many disparate elements somehow manage to go down as smoothly as Guinness.”
Variety
