Virgin Movie Review – Guardian
—
in Action
Well, this was a typical disaster film that somehow I missed on the first round. I LOVE disaster movies, and thrillers, of which Guardian managed to tick on both boxes.

In particular, while dangerous ski gondola scenes have been done to death in James Bond films, the one here is fresh and exciting. Wheeee! The “president” should be a pretty familiar stand-in for our times,…
