I liked this movie.

Rating: Null/10 (20 April 2005)

I thought at times that Tony Scott was trying a little to hard to put "art" in his movie,(unnecessary subtitles, MTV-esquire cutscenes,etc.)however that is really a small thing to complain about in the overall film. I loved the time that was spent developing the relationship between the bodyguard and the child. It didn't just jump into rocket launchers and torture. Also the character of the bodyguard was mysterious, yet developed enough to see a seriously dark side of him, which you're just dying to see come out in furious revenge, and you do, and it's totally worth it. I think that Denzel's portrayal of the bodyguard is definitely one of the best "tough guy's" ever. It seems to be some sort of secret or something, but this movie is a remake of a 1987 movie starring Scott Glenn as the bodyguard. Christopher Walken was good, but I'm starting to wonder what planet he's from and why he gets weirder and weirder with age.
