Although The Guard is primarily a language romp, it's also a terrific showcase for veteran pug-faced character actor Brendan Gleeson.

A laugh-out-loud comedy as hard as \The French Connection,\ a modern spaghetti Western on the windswept wastes of Ireland.

\The Guard\ is not the most original buddy-cop movie you'll see, but it well may be one of the most entertaining.
