In the UK we have lifeboats, in the USA they have Coast Guard rescue swimmers. In the Guardian, legendary and decorated rescue swimmer Ben Randall (Kevin Costner), still haunted by the death of his team mates during a disastrous mission, is appointed to teach at an elite Coast Guard school.

He trains and inspire cocky upstart Jake Fischer (Ashton Kutcher) to a level of excellence, courtesy of some unorthodox methods. But as Ben helps the young hotshot increase his ability, he is also aiming to strengthen his character.

The Guardian is another of the best movies I have seen this year, Costner always seems to pick the right movies to be in, even if they aren't box-office friendly! The alternative ending sucked though (as they often do!) :) You must see this movie!
