Rating: 3/4 --
Brendan Gleeson is a blooming marvel.
Toronto Star
THE GUARD is not a breath but a great gust of very funny fresh air....[I]t gives veteran actor Brendan Gleeson one of the tastiest roles of his career and introduces a gifted writer-director...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 4/5 --
An admirably executed and often hilarious variation on the overdone action-comedy genre, elevated by stand-out performances across the board and an extraordinarily well-executed script from McDonagh.

HeyUGuys
4 stars out of 5 -- Brought to life with gusto, Boyle is equal parts cynic and sentimentalist. It's a great performance and a hell of a character -- profane, contradictory, ineffably alive.
Total Film
Rating: 3/5 --
What's so effective about The Guard is how it has just enough of a narrative trajectory to keep it from feeling entirely like a sketch-show.

At its best, THE GUARD has a wit and perceptiveness that recalls the comedies of Bill Forsyth...
Sight and Sound
4 stars out of 5 -- A principal joy of THE GUARD lies in its dialogue....Gleeson gives a tremendous performance...
