The Bottom Line Should you see it? Yes. Why? One of the few complete films of 2011. McDonagh is a writer/director to watch. John Michael McDonagh, following in his brother, Martin's, footsteps, has made the best comedy of 2011.

While the Sony Pictures Classic release of the trailer for The Guard was only a morsel of what we would get before its theatrical release, the studio has decided to tease us yet again with even more high brow antics of Brendan Gleesen being a law bending racist Irish cop.
