The Bodyguard (2012)

This is not a great show but it is a good one. It is well worth seeing.It has an outstanding soundtrack, very nice eye candy, a little action, a solid cast AND Costner comes dangerously close to being like a real boy when he delivers up his comedic lines.As with most of his movies, Costner gives a fine, if somewhat wooden, performance in an otherwise well done show. It's Costner, he's Groot with a larger vocabulary but you get used to him after a while.I can watch this movie every 5 - 7 years but I can listen to the soundtrack daily. How is it right that we lost Houston when the likes of Swift just won't go away?

I don't know why The Bodyguard hasn't got a higher rating than 6 stars?! I think that this film maybe only appeals to a certain audience. Whitney Houston plays the part of Rachel Marron a singing superstar who has recently became the victim of an obsessed stalker. Kevin Costner plays the part of her newly appointed bodyguard, Frank Farmer. Without going too much into it, Rachel and Frank end up falling for each other. However because Frank is hired to be her bodyguard, the lines get blurred as Rachel wants more. The music in the film in my opinion play a big role. As most of the songs were hits of Whitney Houston and the soundtrack was very successful. I didn't like the albino stalker guy in it, he was very creepy. Overall I love this film, it may not be for everyone but I've seen a lot worse.

Greetings from Lithuania."The Bodyguard" (1992) is a wonderful drama / thriller / romance. It is not cheese romance by a mile, you can point your finger at any direction these days and find much, much more cheese movies then this one. Acting was solid by all involved, but especially of course by our leads Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston - we do care for these two sharply drawn characters. Directing was solid as well as involving script. And the outcome with the killer wasn't the for me the ultimate ending of the story - it surely was that plane scene.Overall, two great charismatic leads, involving writing and amazing (one of the kind) music makes this a very cool movie. It has some romance, it has some thrills and its all done in a very good way - add the unforgettable soundtrack and "The Bodyguard" becomes the ultimate guilty pleasure.

Bodyguard (1992)Plot In A Paragraph: Frank Farmer (KC) a former Secret Service agent takes on the job of bodyguard to a singing superstar Rachel Marron (Whitney Houston)Whilst I do not rate The Bodyguard as high as some people do. It is an enjoyable movie, I happen to have watched it a lot in recent years, and I always like it, but I can go years without feeling the need to revisit it.It is hard to say what I don't like, as it's nothing in particular, I just find the directing a bit flat, and at times the actors are poorly framed. I remember I loved it when it was released, but by the time I watched it again on video, my opinion if it, had dropped considerably. The soundtrack is very effective, all the new songs are catchy and for the second year in a row, the single to a KC movie dominates the charts. I knew the song I Will Always Love You from the Burt Reynolds/Dolly Parton movie The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas. And whilst I still call it a Dolly Parton song, I know many call it a Whitney Houston one, and think of her version as the definitive one. Of the cast, in her first movie Houston is very good. I'm surprised she didn't make more movies (she only made 4 more) as the talent was there. It's another less is more performance from KC, similar to his performance in The Untouchables, but it's still effective here, and he has some good, witty lines. All the supporting cast are fine too. The film had to undergo some hasty re-cutting when test audiences hated the original ending with Farmer dying after saving Marron. I remember KC saying in an interview, that he didn't even understand the new ending to the movie. Sadly for me the tacked on happier ending ruins things a bit!! As Farmer is clearly shot in the chest and gut at Oscars, but he turns up at the airport with his arm in a sling. It was another $100 million plus grosser for KC as The Bodyguard finished the year the 7th highest grossing movie of 1992, with a domestic gross of $121 million. 8/10 for this reviewer.
