If you loved The Guard, try War on Everyone

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. War on Everyone has roughly 3.0× fewer votes than The Guard — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by John Michael McDonagh, and they sit in Action / Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Guard, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What War on Everyone is

Albuquerque. Summer. A squeal of tires. Two jaded detectives shake down lowlifes, pocketing the spoils. But their casual graft attracts a fearsome adversary. McDonagh’s misanthropic farce suggests vintage Aldrich, reset to the sun-baked Southwest.
