This review is from: The Guard [Blu-ray + DVD] (Blu-ray)
Given the hype about this film at the time of its release I was expecting more. While at times it was humorous, albeit in a dry west of Ireland manner, it was not a gut busting funny film.
And, I know all too well that Ireland can be damp and cloudy, but this film was very dark. They didn't have one day of sunshine in Galway in all the time they were there?
All in all a reasonably enjoyable view, but not something I will be rushing to put in the blu-ray player again.
