Summary of The Guard

The Guard is an excellent movie, and that shouldn't be a well guarded secret

Nobody's expecting The Guard to be a very big blockbuster, but it's such a great movie that it would really be a shame if only few people will go see it. A wonderful addition to the "partners against crime" sub-genre. Read and rate it
