About this movie

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.

Some reason with my new DROID RAZR it won't fetch the license. I'm sure the movie is fine bit I would like to watch it. Lol. From the reviews it looks as if it works for others though.

Yes this movie is amazing! And how can you not have respect for the coast guard, Canadian or US, do you know how many people CANT swim? never mind the 100 other things they do! I would have loved to be a part of their team, and I think I would have had at least the swimming strength to do it, but I will never know now. But a big Thank You, especially to Canadian men and women who served in the Coast Guard and all Military, I salute you! (US as well)

I was in the uscg for several years. I lived this life, but not from the planes, from the boats, ships, and shore. I have a number just like Senior Chief Randell. This movie brought back GREAT memories and other memories I would rather not have. By the end of the movie I was in tears. For those who respect the USCG...thank you. To those that don't, I still want to thank you also. All of you are people of our nation. It was my pleasure to serve in this elite service, and to protect the people of our nation.
