CRITICS OF "The Guardian"

Calgary Movies

Overly bloated action drama that is predictable and drawn out.

September 16, 2007

Resource

USA Today

Kutcher may soon be ready to anchor a Hollywood sea voyage. But for now, he's still a touch out of his depth.

September 29, 2006

Resource

ComingSoon.net

There's nothing particularly wrong with it, it's just very tedious. Originality doesn't seem to be important and maybe it doesn't have to be as The Guardian is dealing with something true but what that something is the filmmakers seem to know.

March 22, 2011

Resource

Philadelphia Inquirer

Costner is suitably Costneresque -- that is, low-key, stoic, and capable of a wry turn here or there.

September 29, 2006

Eye for Film

There is a breadth of quality about the acting, including a fine performance from Sela Ward as Ben's estranged wife - making a lot more of her role than her meagre scripting suggests.

December 07, 2007

Resource

ColeSmithey.com

"The Guardian" is a pro-military propaganda movie from Hollywood that attempts to mask its agenda behind the life-saving rhetoric of Coast Guard rescue swimmers.

April 25, 2009

Resource

The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)

The Guardian isn't as boring as Annapolis and SWAT, but it's still a feature-length training montage about kids learning the importance of taking it to the limit.

March 15, 2007

UGO Screenwriter's Voice

Will definitely rescue some moviegoers from the post-summer doldrums, but someone should have told Davis that there's going to be casualities if he leaves audiences in the water that long.

March 24, 2007

Resource

San Francisco Chronicle

The Guardian has the feel of a Sunday feature in a newspaper more than a drama.

September 29, 2006

Resource

Salon.com

Kutcher and Costner have a kind of visual chemistry that's just as elusive as the other kind. And the connection and contrast between them remind us that Hollywood isn't as forgiving of older male actors as we like to think.

September 29, 2006

Resource

Toronto Star

The Guardian does the job required: nothing more, nothing less, and nothing fancy.

September 29, 2006

Resource

Seattle Times

Little about The Guardian will surprise anyone from one scene to the next, though the ride is hardly unpleasant and the story is generous in scope.
