The Guard - 'An Irish Belter of a Comedy' with Brendan Gleeson

...And for those who have no idea who the lovely Mr Gleeson is - you may have seen him in such flicks (fairly recently) as Harry Potter, In Bruges & Green Zone. This fella is an Irish veteran and a fantastic actor to boot!

Don Cheadle also stars alongside Brendan & his acting talents have shone in such films as Hotel Rwanda, Traffic & the Ocean (11,12 & 13) series.

So this should make for quite a juicy acting combo.

Anyways. Our story in a nutshell...

'Three drug dealers are planning to land half a billion dollars' worth of cocaine off the west coast of Ireland. The only men standing in their way are straight faced FBI agent Wendell Everett (Don Cheadle) & Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleeson), an unconventional, hard-living and over-the-hill Galway guard with a dying mother, a fondness for prostitutes and a heightened sense of the absurd!'

I've been to Galway & it's a lovely part of the world. I certainly would've never got the feeling that rather large shipments of drugs would be arriving at the port any time soon. So this should make for an intriguing tale against a beautiful backdrop!

And if after my rambling this is still tickling your movie taste buds - please view the trailer people.

In cinemas August 25th:
