Guard

Finally got round to watching this. Is it any good? Yes, but no classic. Slow-paced, talky movie where the actors recite the script and know the jokes. It's about drugs smugglers on the West coast and then the FBI get involved. Some funny stuff and dialogue. Politically incorrect and uncomfortable scenes. Good contrast between the country Irish and the Dubliners. Usual faces appearing in the roles - straight from the IFB casting agency! 2011 is the best year yet for Irish movies!
