Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2012)

Frank Farmer becomes a bodyguard of a beautiful singer, Rachel Marron.She has been getting some death threats, and Frank is the right man to protect her.Soon there's something more going on between Rachel and her bodyguard.Mick Jackson is the director of The Bodyguard (1992).Lawrence Kasdan wrote the film already in the 70's.On Saturday, Feb 11 we heard sad that Whitney Houston has passed away at the age of 48.She was buried during the weekend.It was a shock to millions of her fans.20 years ago this singer with a fantastic voice gave her first movie performance in The Bodyguard.She is spectacular as Rachel Marron.Kevin Costner, who spoke lovely words of Whitney at the funeral, is just the right guy to play Frank Farmer.Kevin believed in Whitney and wanted her to be his co-star.They share a great amount of chemistry together.Also other actors do great work.Gary Kemp plays Sy Spector.Bill Cobbs plays Bill Devaney.Ralph Waite portrays Herb Farmer.Tomas Arana is Greg Portman.Michele Lamar Richards plays Nicki Marron.Mike Starr is Tony.Richard Schiff plays the part of Skip Thomas.Debbie Reynolds is seen as herself.I saw the movie yesterday, which was the second time I saw it.The thriller part works in this movie, and so does the romance.The date scene is a really nice one.And Kevin carrying Whitney is a classic.How Frank saves Rachel's son Fletcher from that boat with a bomb is most thrilling to watch.And the stuff that happens at the Oscars is very intense.Let's not forget the songs sang by Houston.One song that will live forever, or at least close to that, is "I Will Always Love You".Just beautiful.Kevin Costner alongside Whitney Houston really make this a memorable movie.
