One of the bigger hits of this year’s Sundance Film Festival was John Michael McDonagh‘s police comedy, The Guard. Starring Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle, the Irish film has already earned comparisons to movies like Edgar Wright‘s Hot Fuzz. When I consider that Wright‘s masterpiece is one of my favorite comedies of the past ten years, that comes across as a pretty high compliment.

Now, the first trailer has arrived at Rte Ten (via Twitch), and it certainly looks promising. The mix of comedy and action feels right, almost reminding me of In Bruges; maybe not so coincidentally, that happened to be written and directed by John Michael‘s brother, Martin. This made our list of 20 limited releases to look forward to this summer, and I”m happy to say that it appears to have earned it. Click the image below to see it for yourself.
