The Bodyguard (1992)


The Bodyguard is a love story between a celebrity singer/actor and her professional bodyguard.  The singer, Rachel, has been receiving death threats and the need for the best bodyguard in the business is required.  Naturally, the two start to develop feelings for each other although to be honest, Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston were a bit stiff in most of the scenes, however, the chemistry between the two main characters still manages to work and shine through.  The first half of the film was actually fantastic but the pacing drops and the angles the film ended up moving to makes the second half a bit more boring.  There are some annoying characters that hinder the Costner's character, since it's your typical characters who doesn't think the main character is worth their money in abilities.  Overall, The Bodyguard ends up being a nice film telling a simple story to good effect.
