Take a dash of Top Gun’s hotshot arrogance. Pour in some of the peril-at-sea drama of The Perfect Storm. Now whisk into a fine blend, flavouring with the grizzled sight of Kevin Costner as an experienced Coastguard trying to whip a bunch of rookie recruits into shape.
There you have the basic recipe for The Guardian, the new action drama from Andrew “Holes” Davis. Costner is Ben Randall, the veteran still suffering from losing several colleagues during a tragic search-and-rescue mission, imparting his wisdom to Ashton Kutcher’s hot-headed young pup Jake Fischer.
The trailer’s attached to Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, but it's also** **online now, so head over to here and try to guess whether one of them drowns in the big finale. We won’t hold it against you for hoping that it’s Kutcher.
