MOVIE: The Guardian

Wow, I was surprised that this was a decent flick. Yes, the CGI effects were not terribly realistic but the story did justice to the Coasties. The whole Navy vs. Coast Guard thing was a bit overdone. In my experience the two branches do give each other a bad time with name calling and such but it is all usually good natured as both groups respect the job done by the other. I spent 10 years in the Navy and was temporarily assigned to the Coast Guard for two weeks so I do have some experience in this area.

It is a good story and though not my favorite actors, both Ashton Kusher and Kevin Costner played their roles well. I was glad to see the large number of active duty coast guard in the cast.
