Summary: After losing his crew in a fatal crash, legendary Rescue Swimmer, Ben Randall (Costner), is sent to teach at "A" School, an elite training program for Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers. Wrestling with the loss of his crew members, he throws himself into teaching, turning the program upside down with his unorthodox training methods. While there, he encounters a young, cocky swim champ, Jake Fischer (Kutcher), who is driven to be the best. (Touchstone Pictures)

A usual and predictable movie that portray heroes. This just another old wine in a new bottle. The acting is at best par. There is not much in terms of story, script or cinematography. Watching the movie will not hurt one, but dont expect anything amazing from this movie.

Interesting concept. Not bad, actually. However, I was a tad un-satisfied with the ending. The story line was a bit predictable/done-before, but it's still an interesting story and loads of respect for the real Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers!!!

Thought it to be quite ok. Quite messy at times, quite overplayed by some, but fairly well directed and performed. Liked the story, although it felt like I'd already seen this a few times before.

A load of hate going towards this totally decent film, which even features some pretty good acting from Ashton (who I can't stand in That 70s Show). Lots of cliches drop it down a bit, and it's by no means something I'll watch again, but still it's not too shabby.

Offers absolutely nothing new. Nothing. I guess it's entertaining, but it does manage to be predictable. No, wait, that's bad, too. All the usual cliched crap is here, in excess. I thought Annapolis was the champion at that, but wow... The Guardian easily beats it by using every damn cliche there could possibly be in such a movie. I'm pretty sure I saw Top Gun, An Officer and A Gentleman, G.I. Jane, and on and on.

While the reason behind the creation of the film may involve a concerted effort to beef up harbor security and anti-terrorist sea craft searches by fostering interest in joining, this potential dirty little secret probably won't stand in the way of more casual viewers (i.e. ones that have no interest in joining the Guard no matter how exciting they deem to make it appear) enjoying the results.

Has some redeeming elements, but most of the time it's a boring movie that's been sold on a misleading ad campaign; you'll probably expect something more akin to "Behind Enemy Lines". Instead, this is the longest training montage in history.

Kutcher and Costner are surprisingly good in a film that has enough cool factor to outweigh the overly predictable plot. [Full Review]

Every single cliché in the book mashed together in a never-ending, poorly acted crap feast... The supernatural coda is particularly annoying: an extra FU to the poor audience who stick around to the very end.
