‘The Guardian’ shows us these possibilities with Ben Randall (Kevin Costner), a maverick, but aging senior chief who is quiet on top of his develop. At the beginning we catch him challenged by a rescue that runs out the clock and leaves his colleagues in harm’s map. The descending rescue ‘copter runs into a wave that sends it reeling into the sea where it explodes. The trajectory of the debacle sends Randall’s best friend out at sea, but even his best efforts can’t keep him. Randall recovers, but he remains shy by the memory of this current peril that left him impotent to attach the others. His noble reassigns him to announce recruits. He resists, but his senior officer is wise enough to know that trauma leaves even the best rescuers tentative until time can heal the inner wounds.
At the training academy, Randall becomes the best asset, throwing away the text book and always throwing his recruits into the thick of training with some grueling situations. Here he comes upon a smug, but promising Ivy League recruit, Jake Fischer (Ashton Kutcher), properly nicknamed “Goldfish” for his smimming prowess and silver spoon sensibilities. The friction between instructor and recruit is not all that different than movies we’ve seen before, especially ‘An Officer and a Gentleman,’ but the bond they produce is both strong and very different. They witness they have worthy in approved, including an aptitude to wreck swimming records and a past that haunts each protagonist in a similar fashion. Tough Randall has some strong words that snappily silence even the most brazen of his potential crew, especially the cocky Fischer. A series of mishaps and Randall’s constant browbeating do peel the layers off Fischer’s self-centered shell, and we finally explore both men’s vulnerability. The relationship is the focal point of the movie, for Fischer brings vitality and enthusiasm, but he needs Randall’s fable and seasoned experience. The rest of the movie finds them friends, but both have their mettle tested in a series of events that indicate them as the best they can be… Both, too, are in need of healing and forgiveness, while they try to forge a final bond with the women they fancy.

As with most adventure movies nowadays, there are able panoramic sea scenes, some of which are reminiscent of ‘The Perfect Storm’. The narrative and the procedure it weaves through inconvenience, relationships, and training has an emotional undertow that isn’t entirely different than ‘The Horse Whisperer’. And, though many comparisons can be made to other movies, the sum of ‘The Guardian’s parts is assembled in a fresh contrivance. Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher withhold the drama afloat with focused performances that manufacture memorable characters. Particularly, Kutcher delivers a marvelous performance as a cocky recruit who has expansive distress and insecurity bubbling below the surface. The dialogue is above most adventure movies with some particularly poignant lines for Costner. ‘The Guardian’ delivers heroism and inspiration in a film that nearly steered a course into a rupture of sentimentality awash with cliches and stereotypes.
Despite mediocre reviews and having struggled through An Officer and a Gentleman and Top Gun I decided to witness The Guardian with every expectation that I would not form it through the movie… I am joyful that I went, one of the best movies I’ve seen in awhile. It’s easy to glean fault in any movie and The Guardian is no exception; the rescue scenes are bigger than life which should be expected in a military/disaster movie; but the overconfident and somewhat arrogant trainee (Ashton Kutcher) is believable at his age, and Kevin Costner was at his best since the unhurried 80’s (The Untouchables & No Scheme Out) . Despite my surprise when learning that my college age children watched The Guardian, I was even more astonished that they discussed aspects of this movie - Service, sacrifice, relationships, and perseverance. In an office where I very rarely search for 7 thumbs up; The Guardian got the grade.
