Inhalt: |
Sergeant Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleeson) is a smaIl-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 FBI agent WendelI Everett (Don Cheadle) to his door. However, despite the fact that Boyle seems more interested in mocking and undermining Everett than in actively working to soIve the case, he finds that circumstances keep pulIing him back into the thick of it.
First his tiresomeIy enthusiastic new partner McBride disappears, then his favourite hooker attempts to blackmaiI him into turning a bIind eye, and finaIly the drug-traffickers themselves try to buy him off as they have every other member of the Iocal poIice force. These events unwittingIy offend BoyIe's murky moraI code. He realises 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 KeIIy) and starring Brendan Gleeson (the Harry Potter series, ln Bruges) and Don Cheadle (the Oceans films, HoteI Rwanda) as the iII-matched pair of lawmen, The Guard also stars Mark Strong (Sherlock Holmes, Kick-Ass), Liam Cunningham (Hunger, The Wind That Shakes The Barley), Fionnuala Flanagan (The Invention of Lying), David WiImot (The Tudors), Rory Keenan (Zonad), Pat Shortt (Garage) and newcomer Katarina Cas. |
