Movie Review – The Guardian

Once again a great movie by Andrew Davis (Director). Fantastic performance by Kevin Costner (Waterworld fame) and Ashton Kutcher.

The Guardian Movie

It is the movie about US Coast Guard Rescuers. Kevin is one of the senior rescuer, a mishap happens and he is guided to the training school where he meets Ashton Kutcher and finds the vibrant potential in him and trains him, with special attention to him.

The second half is very funny, the kind of trainings he gives, and so on.

At one point of time, Ashton is in the sea trying to save the captain of a ship that was stuck in the storm. Kevin rushes there to rescue him and…watch the movie for the ending :)

On the whole, it is a great movie, worth watching, nice sound and motion effects.

Watch the trailer of the movie HERE.
