Description

Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher star in THE GUARDIAN, the powerful, action-packed drama that takes you inside the never-before-seen world of the elite Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers. Reeling with grief in the wake of a mission gone tragically wrong, legendary Rescue Swimmer Ben Randall (Costner) is given a mission he doesn't want - training raw recruits. Once there, he knocks heads with cocky Jake Fischer (Kutcher), a swimming champ driven by a painful secret, who's more interested in breaking Ben's records than saving lives. But Ben also sees Jake has what it takes to be the best of the best. Filled with spectacular rescues in the lethal waters of the Bering Sea, THE GUARDIAN is a riveting and compelling story that dives straight into the heart and soul of real heroes, the unsung guardians of the sea.

    Why can’t you buy it now?? You use to be able to?? Pretty good movie. Rescue swimmer school for the navy or coast guard is a hate but very rewarding career. I give the movie 7.5-8 out of 10

    Definitely one of my favorite movies… Ashton Kutcher is one of my favorite actors I wonder if he knows Kimbell?

    Trailer pretty much sums up the beginning, middle, and end of the movie. Enjoyed greatly, would watch again.

    Ashton Kutcher gives one of his better performances,and we get great acting from Costner as usual.The movie does a good job of showing the training and the dangers that those who come to our rescue go through.Some might consider some of the movie boring,but I thought there was and equal amount of action and drama.

  • Decent for rent movie

    Rented it for 3.99 - worth it. Two hours of entertaining mix between training and military/rescue movie. I also think its a good way to pay respects to the Coast Guard and highlight the insane job of rescue in open seas that they do. Massive grain of salt in this movie is the reality - that this purely altruistic job is not paid well, wrecks people's families and leaves them with PTSD and Survivor Guilt in many cases. Aging Costner plays according to his level and skill - a sad tale of man who at his mid-40s is done with life. Kutcher is arguably the weakest spot - his acting skills are just not enough to play dramatic role in a convincing way. In my opinion the whole ending should have been omitted - it brought movie over the top and was completely uncalled for.

  • Overpriced movie

    Any reason why this movie is a whopping $17.00 on iTunes?? I mean it’s a good movie, but so is American Sniper or alone Survivor..

  • Clancy Brown :(

    I’m only writing this review because of Clancy Brown (one of my fave actors). I watched this movie only for him and he was in it for like 20 minutes then it was all training scenes with Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher which reminded me a lot of Annapolis (which was a good movie). A lot of well known faces in this along with Clancy, Costner and Kutcher (Brian Geraghty, John Heard from Home Alone etc).

    Very different movie; you always see movies of the military. Kevin Costner is such an awesome actor along with Ashton Kutcher. They did such a good job portraying Cost Guard swimmers; who risk their lives for others. Both men bring a sense of pride to the Cost Guard.
