Details

A former Secret Service agent grudgingly takes an assignment to protect a pop idol who's threatened by a crazed fan. At first, the safety-obsessed bodyguard and the self-indulgent diva totally clash. But before long, all that tension sparks fireworks of another sort, and the love-averse tough guy is torn between duty and romance.

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
TownRootGuy 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?
Unhelpful Yoda 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.
slightlymad22 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.
