Never mind what you've read about John Michael McDonagh's The Guard (I mean, who the fuck needs three names?). It's not funny. Trying this hard to achieve this level of humour is not funny, ever. Swearing is not funny. Of course it can be, it's just not innately funny. Political incorrectness is not funny. Of course, it too can be, but it too is not innately funny. The Guard is boring, plagiaristic in style and content, and an embarrassment for all involved, especially Don Cheadle, who probably had an even worse time filming this shit than I had watching it.
