One Of The Funniest Irish Movies In Recent Years Is On RTE Tonight

Sarah

Your head is pounding and your belly aching from all the overindulging you’ve been doing the past few days – we feel your festive pain. 

And the cure? Settling down on the sofa tonight to watch The Guard, one of the funniest Irish flicks in years. 

A dark crime comedy, it’s pure Irish genius.

Sergeant Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleeson) 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 (Don Cheadle) to his door.

The Guard is on RTE ONE tonight at 9.30pm.
