The Guardian—educates, entertains, action-packed, and drama-filled—begins with the
question: Is it going to be a good watch, a bad watch, or a horrible watch? It
takes a little time to answer that question and then with the transfer to the
U.S. Coast Guard training school, the film settles into its ‘cool’ and turns into a good
watch. The last 30 to 40 minutes seem to give the movie 2 conclusions, but the
additional conclusion brings closure to a great story. Kevin Costner is the
perfect choice for this film. Ashton Kutcher seems an odd pick for the movie,
but by the concluding scenes turns into the perfect choice for his character,
also. Watch for Neil McDonough. The supporting cast perform at a level that
makes this movie a ‘sit and watch’ film that, overall, tells a really good
story that makes a good addition to the home video library.
