Sinopsis
Sersan Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleeson), adalah seorang petugas polisi yang bertugas di sebuah kota kecil di pesisir pantai Irlandia.  Gayanya yang eksentrik serta pengalamannya sebagai polisi, sering membuatnya bertindak semaunya sendiri.  Ketika seorang rekan kerjanya menghilang dan kota itu menjadi sorotan polisi internasional sebagai tempat pertukaran narkoba, Boyle terpaksa bekerja sama dengan seorang agen FBI, Wendel Everett (Don Cheadle). Dua orang penegak hukum dengan karakter yang bertolak belakang ini sekarang harus bekerja bahu membahu untuk menumpas gembong penyelundup narkoba.  The Guard, karya debut dari sutradara John Michael McDonagh, adalah sebuah komedi mengenai pembunuhan, pemerasan, perdagangan narkoba dan korupsi polisi pinggiran.  Film ini telah menerima 14 penghargaan dan 23 nominasi dari berbagai festival dan acara penghargaan internasional.
