The Sunrise Theater's SunFlix Series wraps up a month of terrific films with the comedy/thriller "The Guard," an action comedy about an unorthodox Irish cop and straitlaced FBI agent who must work together to bring down an international drug gang.

L.A. film critic Kenneth Turan calls it "...a great gust of very funny fresh air."

Starring Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle, this film will be shown Oct. 27-31, with shows weekdays and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. (no Saturday matinee) and Sunday at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. "The Guard" is rated R for language, some violence, drug material and sexual content, and runs for 100 minutes.

An unorthodox Irish policeman (Gleeson) with a confrontational personality is teamed up with an uptight FBI agent (Cheadle) to investigate an international drug-smuggling ring. Sgt. Gerry Boyle is a small-town Irish cop with a subversive sense of humor, a dying mother, a fondness for prostitutes and absolutely no interest whatsoever in the international cocaine-smuggling ring that has brought straight-laced FBI agent Wendell Everett to his door.

The historic Sunrise Theater, located at 250 NW Broad St. in Southern Pines, is nonprofit. Ticket prices are $7 for all shows. Refreshments, including beer and wine, are available. For more information, contact the theater at (910) 692-3611 or go to www.sunrisetheater.com.
