Costner's Midas Touch

Rating: 6/10 (2 November 2007)

Definitely not one of Kevin Costner's stronger films, however he certainly seems to turn everything he touches into gold. His record of choosing successful scripts seems impeccable.
In "The Bodygaurd", Costner plays somewhat reluctant minder Frank Farmer, who is assigned to watch over Rachel Marron (Whitney Houston), a celebrity of music and movie fame. Kevin Costner fills the shoes well, but he's never impressive, while always playing second fiddle to Whitney Houston, whose screen debut is good, but hardly great.
Director Mick Jackson does manage to give his audience a good feeling in this film, which is best noted for Ms. Houston's wonderful title song.
