The Guard is a new movie that created a lot of buzz at the recent Sundance Film Festival.  It stars Don Cheadle, Brendan Gleeson, and Liam Cunningham. 

Synopsis:  Sergeant Gerry Boyle is a small-town Irish cop with a confrontational personality, a subversive sense of humor, a dying mother, a fondness for prostitutes, and absolutely no interest whatsoever in the international cocaine-smuggling ring that has brought straight-laced FBI agent Wendell Everett to his door.

Just Me:  Don Cheadle never disappoints.

Release Date:  September 22, 2011

Am I watching Crash? Donnie Brasco?  Or maybe The Departed?  No.  It's Brooklyn's Finest which is the new movie directed by Antione Fuqua and written by Michael C. Martin.  Brooklyn's Finest opens the door into the lives of three separate cops in Brooklyn, New York with very different agendas. 

Eddie:  Veteran actor, Richard Gere, plays what most believe to be an old washed-up cop who is no stranger to the bottle.  With seven days until his retirement from the force, Eddie is asked to mentor some young rookie cop for a new police initiative.  After spending a lifetime on the police force day-in and day-out, he has lost the desire 'To Protect and Serve'.  Or at least he did until he meets the rookie cop that makes him grow his conscience back.
