Simply Superb... A Classic!

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2010)

Mick Jackson's 'The Bodyguard' is a film that has a routine story about a Secret Service Agent turned bodyguard who is hired to protect a music icon, from an unknown stalker. Depsite zero novelty, I loved the film. It holds appeal from start to end, it keeps you interested even when the story isn't really moving. In short, a winner all the way!
'The Bodyguard' was also a Box Office Blockbuster Hit during it's release, way back in 1992. It has since gained a fan-following, it's a classic. It's Lawrence Kasdan's water-tight screenplay that keeps you glued, and Jackson's direction keep the proceedings alive. Alan Silvestri's music score, is another brownie point.
Now coming to the acting department, Whitney Houston sinks her teeth into the character and brings it out like flying colors. She steals the show all the way! Kevin Costner is restrained this time, which works only to it's advantage. Gary Kemp is passable. Bill Cobbs is okay. Others fill the bill.
On the whole, A Must Watch Film! Two Thumbs Up!
