in personal safety, water safety, national security and the environment, the US Coast Guard finally gets its due from Hollywood with a highly polished authenticity thanks to Andrew Davis\u2019, THE GUARDIAN.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Complete with an indoor pool serving as the Bering Strait, 60,000 pounds of ice representing Kodiak, Alaska, an Olympic swimmer, and production beset by delays thanks to, ironically, Hurricane Katrina, THE GUARDIAN brings us the story of the Coast Guard\u2019s elite search and rescue branch.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Randall is a survivor.\u00a0 The top of the line when it comes to swimming and water rescue, he is the most decorated swimmer in the Coast Guard.\u00a0 One of the oldest active members of the search and rescue division, Randall is over 40.\u00a0 Quiet and disciplined, you can always count on him to get the job done &#8211; with one exception.\u00a0\u00a0 In the blink of an eye, one mission goes awry and Randall loses his entire rescue team.\u00a0 He is, the sole survivor.\u00a0 Facing his own mortality and questioning his abilities and that inevitable \u201cHave I stayed to long at the fair?\u201d question, Randall is relieved of active duty and reassigned as an instructor, training the next generation of search and rescue swimmers at the top gun class of the Coast Guard.<\/p>\n<p>Jake Fischer is a cocky, know-it-all wannabe.\u00a0 After all, what can he possibly learn from an \u201cold guy.\u201d\u00a0 Haunted by his own personal demons, Fischer, himself an excellent swimmer , finds himself enrolled in the search and rescue training classes under the tutelage of Ben Randall.\u00a0 Less than impressed with Randall (after all, he\u2019s over 40 and who can do anything of value over 40!), Fischer initially blends with the rest of the class but for his cockiness, but his individuality, self-reliance and lack of team work soon bring him to the forefront.\u00a0 And in so doing, the dynamic shifts to a head-butting contest between Randall and Fischer as Fischer\u2019s ole goal seems to be to \u201cbest\u201d the best-of-the best, Randall.\u00a0 To Fischer, records, regalia and glory are all that matters.\u00a0 Honor and duty mean nothing.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8898\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/The_Guardian_2-400x265.jpg\"

life, but a renewal for Fischer as well.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Costner stars as Ben Randall.\u00a0 An excellent casting choice.\u00a0 Costner knows his niche.\u00a0 He is at his best when playing the elder statesman, still physically able to do the job but mentally wearing and now kept around to \u201cenlighten\u201d the youngsters.\u00a0 Think \u201cBull Durham\u201d or \u201cFor Love of the Game.\u201d\u00a0 Sage advise, the wisdom of experience and a strength of character with a code of defining morals and ethics laced with passion, conviction and gentility form the character and captivate on screen.\u00a0 This is Costner\u2019s best work in years.\u00a0 Going head-to-head with him is Ashton Kutcher as the strong-willed Jake.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Not a big Kutcher fan, I am impressed with his performance here.\u00a0\u00a0 Stretching himself beyond comedy, he brings an \u201cA\u201d game to the table and gives a compelling, strong performance without lapsing into overbearing arrogance, which could easily have happened with this character.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With a tempered maturity, Kutcher \u2018s chemistry with Costner is undeniable and bodes well for the character study and story line at hand.\u00a0 Given their successful pairing here, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see them together again in a future project.\u00a0 In fact, I would welcome it.<img

two primary characters.\u00a0 As comes as no surprise, the always\u00a0 excellent Sela Ward is a standout as Randall\u2019s wife.\u00a0 Ward puts such heart into the character that every woman in the audience will be able to empathize and understand her position and the reasons for her separation from Randall.\u00a0 Ward\u2019s performance as Helen does much to buoy the development of Ben Randall.\u00a0 One of my favorite stuntmen and Second Unit Directors, veteran Greg Barnett, takes on the role of Guard pilot Doug Lathrop and is, of course, beyond reproach.\u00a0 Not one relegated to non-speaking roles over his illustrious career, he brings an authenticity, athleticism and ability to the part that serves the film well. . .not to mention doing double duty as Stunt Coordinator.\u00a0\u00a0 Likewise, with Jay Bingham, JD Evermore and Bill Gail.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Easy on the eyes, convincing and credible, it\u2019s enough to make you want to go out just to get rescued!\u00a0\u00a0 And I have to give a shout-out to Neil McDonough\u2019s Skinner.\u00a0 One of the most militaryesque, cloak and dagger government (think X-Files) types out there, McDonough is Costner\u2019s antagonistic foil and with his usual aplomb, really gets under your skin.\u00a0 Perfect!<\/p>\n<p>The real key to the success of THE GUARDIAN is screenwriter Still, I think screenwriter Ron L. Brinkerhoff.\u00a0 Tightly crafted, interesting and enlightening, he keeps his eye on the ball and never falters from the message and team spirit inspired by the real life heroes.\u00a0\u00a0 Although at times the dialogue sounds \u201chand-picked\u201d, deliberate and thematically stylized, it serves the film and the characters well, giving a depth and maturity to the project as a whole, taking us inside the hearts and minds of some typically unsung and relatively unknown heroes.\u00a0 Never cheapening the acts of the Guard as a whole nor becoming overly maudlin or melodramatic, the character study and dynamic alone is worth seeing.\u00a0 Toss in the excitement and adventure of daring-do rescues and, WOW!<\/p>\n<p>Compounding Brinkerhoff\u2019s excellence is director Andrew Davis.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 His continuity with character development, excitement and suspense is rivaled only by the excellence of the drama the creates with welcome authenticity.\u00a0 He keeps the juices flowing and eyes wide open even when merely educating the audience about the harrowing challenges of this much needed profession without the excitement of winds, waves, caves and potential drowning victims.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The icing on the cake are the horrific storms and sea rescues in, of all places, the Bering Strait.\u00a0\u00a0 (Get out your maps boys and girls and head North!)\u00a0 Determined to achieve unparalleled authenticity, Davis shot much on location, everywhere from Alaska to New Orleans to Oregon to Long Beach and on to Shreveport.\u00a0 He did however turn to production design, special effects and visual effects teams to construct a water tank a la Wolfgang Peterson\u2019s \u201cThe Perfect Storm\u201d to serve as the Bering Strait.<\/p>\n<p>As many of you know, I will see anything and everything starring, directed or written by Kevin Costner, and have maintained that position since we first met early on in our respective careers.\u00a0 Not overly impressed with his last couple of films, I went into THE GUARDIAN sticking my baby toe in the water &#8211; with some trepidation.\u00a0\u00a0 When I left the theater, it was with not only newfound knowledge and respect for the men and women of our Coast Guard, but with a wave of excitement from the sheer excellence and entertainment of the film.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Randall: Kevin Costner<\/p>\n<p>Jake Fischer: Ashton Kutcher<\/p>\n<p>Skinner: Mac McDonough<\/p>\n<p>Helen Randall: Sela Ward<\/p>\n<p>Directed by Andrew Davis.\u00a0 Written by Ron L.
