Entire Household Unanimously Voted This Movie as Film of the Year

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2004)

Denzel Washington, Dakota Fanning and Christopher Walken teamed up to bring home what my family deemed, the "Film of the Year". Literally, there was not a dry eye in my home; male nor female.
Filmed in Mexico City, this action packed drama is exactly as what my counterparts have stated: a film based on the life of an alcoholic ex-counter-insurgent who is hired as the body guard for Dakota Fanning (a.k.a. Lupita or Pita), who is a a lovely, intelligent child.
I enjoyed the entire process of Washington and Fanning becoming close and would not have changed a single moment. Every actor and actress in this movie gave stellar performances and the plot never wavered. Despite what my counterparts have said in other posts, the movie never had a dull moment, and those who have children, be forewarned that this is a movie that will indeed pull at your heart strings.
This movie has a definite 5 star out of a 5 star rating for my whole family.
Read the previous posts for the synopsis or plot, but ignore their comments, as they obviously do not know a good movie when they see one.
