Review of The Guard

The Guard (2011)
8/10
Makes me want to know more about its making
8 December 2012
I liked this film a lot. I don't want to try to write a review here, there's a lot of them already. Just to comment that this film makes me want to go behind the scenes to see the back story. Really a great plot, excellent and sometimes hilarious dialog, together with outstanding characterizations particularly by Brendan Gleeson. But other little things show great attention to detail as well - like the "theater-style" credits at the end, in which the lesser characters come out and "take their bow" first - really strike me as done right. It seems that local talent weighed in a lot, which I really like as well. On the surface, and beneath it, a great film.
