The Guardian…
Nothing new here, we have all seen it before…Backdraft, Top Gun, Swat,
etc… Same formula different profession, this time around we get the
Coast Guard. If you have seen the trailer you can guess the plot. All
that said it was enjoyable in its formulaic way. Despite its
predictability seeing what the Coast Guard does was genuinely
interesting. My only complaints are the ending, which I felt was
unnecessary. Would have much rather seen something drastically
different happen (Being that the film is not even released yet I won't
spoil it for everyone). And for something around two hours in length,
it felt insanely long, although I didn’t start looking at my watch
until close to the end, which maybe reinforces my feeling about the
ending. So others may live, so I have a good time in the theater.
