The Guard is a film that works on many levels, but ultimately proves to be its own worst enemy.  The debut feature of writer/director John Michael McDonagh, The Guard sports an impressive cast, including Brendan Gleeson, Liam Cunningham, Mark Strong and one of my all-time personal favorites, Don Cheadle.

June 13th, 2011
salvation-boulevard

Of all the movies I watched at the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) this year, none was more rewarding than Salvation Boulevard, the agnostic comedy starring Greg Kinnear, Pierce Brsonan, Marisa Tomei, Jennifer Connelly and Ed Harris. A lighthearted, offbeat laugh fest, the movie wasn’t as awarding as the experience, that of being crammed into a theater full of atheists who relate all too well to the jokes on display.

One is about a cyborg sent from the future to assassinate the mother of humanity’s last chance, the other about a gimpy Kevin Spacey and a mysterious underworld figure. Very similar indeed.

Both movies were recently released by MGM and 20th Century Fox in book format. Book format!
