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
