Just finished watching "The Guard" on Film 4. The only cop film I have ever found entertaining and can relate to. Brendan Gleeson is a great actor imo.
As a rookie cop i was puppy walked by a former Garda PC by the name of Camilus. Gleeson's charachter so reminded me of one of the greatest cops I had the priveledge to be tutored by. Can watch this film time over again. :-)
Yes Baths. A good irreverant cop.Acted thick but was wiser than his seniors who he didn't suffer gladly. Certainly not PC. Had guts and integrity with a sense of humour.Liked a drink on and off duty. I knew that man! :-)
saw ' Oirish ' and comedy and thought O I will give this a miss
Try "12 dead men walking" with Ben Kingsley for more laughs
whenver I pass a scappaticci ice cream van in Manchester I think of it
