i be look forward to the guardian and but when i walk into the theater i wasn not really in the mood for it at that particular time . it kind of like the olive garden i like it and but i have to be in the right mindset to thoroughly enjoy it . i be not exactly sure what be dampen my spirit . the trailer look good and but the water theme be give me bad flashback to the last kevin costner movie that dealt with the subject waterworld . plus and despite the promise ashton kutcher show in the butterfly effect and i be still not completely sell on him . something about the guy just annoys me . probably have to do with his simian feature . it take approximately two minute for my fear to subside and for my hesitancy to slip away . the movie immediately throw u into the midst of a tense rescue mission and and i be grip tight than kenny rogers orange face lift . my concern briefly bristle at kutcher initial appearance due to the fact that too much effort be make to paint him a ridiculously cool and rebellious . sunglass and a tough guy toothpick in his mouth and and sportin a smirk that would make george clooney proud . yeah and we get it . i be totally ready to hate him . but then he have to go and deliver a fairly strong performance and force me to soften my jab . darn you and ape man . efficiently mix tense and excite rescue scene and drama and humor and and solid acting and the guardian be easily a film that i dare say the majority of audience will enjoy . you can quibble about it clichés and predictability and and rare moment of overcooked sappiness and but none of that take away from the entertainment value . i have a bad feeling that the pace would slow too much when costner start train the young guy and but on the contrary and the training session just might be the most interesting aspect of the film . coast guard rescue swimmer be hero whose story have never really be portray on the big screen and so i feel the inside look at what they go through and how tough it be to make it be very informative and a great way to introduce audience to this under appreciate group . do you have what it take to be a rescue swimmer . just think about it you get to go on dangerous mission in cold and dark and rough water and and then you must fight disorientation and exhaustion and hypothermia and and a lack of oxygen all while try to help strand and panic people who be depend on you for their survival . and if all that isn not bad enough and sometimes you can not save everybody so you have to make the tough decision of who life and who die . man and who want all that responsibility . not me . i have no idea what it be really like for these guy and and who would have think i would have an ashton kutcher or kevin costner movie to thank for the education . not only do the guardian do a great job of pay tribute to this rare breed of hero and but lucky for u it also do a good job of entertain it pay customer . the gist moviegoer want an inside look at what it like to embark on a daring rescue mission in the middle of the ocean might want to give the guardian a chance . i saw it for free and but have i pay i would have felt i have get my money worth .
