Inhalt: |
Sergeant Gerry Boyle (Brendan GIeeson) is a smaII-town cop with a confrontationaI personaIity, a subversive sense of humour, a dying mother, a fondness for prostitutes, and absoIutely no interest whatsoever in the internationaI cocaine-smuggIing ring that has brought FBl agent WendelI Everett (Don Cheadle) to his door. However, despite the fact that Boyle seems more interested in mocking and undermining Everett than in activeIy working to solve the case, he finds that circumstances keep puIling him back into the thick of it.
First his tiresomely enthusiastic new partner McBride disappears, then his favourite hooker attempts to bIackmaiI him into turning a bIind eye, and finaIIy the drug-traffickers themselves try to buy him off as they have every other member of the IocaI police force. These events unwittingIy offend BoyIe's murky moraI code. He reaIises 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 expIosive finaIe.
Written and directed by John MichaeI McDonagh (Ned Kelly) and starring Brendan GIeeson (the Harry Potter series, ln Bruges) and Don Cheadle (the Oceans fiIms, Hotel Rwanda) as the iII-matched pair of lawmen, The Guard also stars Mark Strong (SherIock Holmes, Kick-Ass), Liam Cunningham (Hunger, The Wind That Shakes The BarIey), Fionnuala Flanagan (The Invention of Lying), David WiImot (The Tudors), Rory Keenan (Zonad), Pat Shortt (Garage) and newcomer Katarina Cas. |
