The Guardian not as bad as you'd think

In The Guardian (BVHE, €24.99) Kevin Costner plays Ben Randall, a veteran of the US Coast Guard.

Following a tragedy he becomes a trainer of new recruits. Reluctantly, he agrees and comes eyeball to eyeball with brash trainee, Jake Fischer (Ashton Kutcher).

Despite itself, this is a better than average drama, and Costner isn’t half so irritating. Kutcher, however, is the star of the show.

Among the extras are an audio commentary, an average made featurette, a tribute to the USCG plus deleted scenes and an alternate ending.

A pity it comes across as a PR piece for the Coast Guard though.
