Summary: A profession that requires the annihilation of sentiments
Review: To be a bodyguard is not an easy task, particularly when you are dealing with showbizz people. They don't want to cut short their hazardous activities and attitudes of direct contact with the public and then it becomes easy for any would-be killer to perform their acts. This film also reveals that the contact between the bodyguard and the guarded person has to be entirely and only professional not to be disturbed by any personal and emotional element. This is hard to accept for a showbizz person who always sentimentalizes and personalizes the relations they entertain with their surrouding personnel. Yet the bodyguard in this mission will save the actress's son and then the actress herself in particularly public and dramatic conditions. The film will also create some justice when the killer executes the actress's sister who has been the one who paid for the elimination of her sister out of spite and jealousy. In other words the film is interesting because it erases as much sentimental mulk as possible only to retain the professional dimension of the mission.

Summary: Outstanding
Review: When this movie first came out the critics panned it mercilessly and frankly I just can't understand why. I thought it was fabulous. Kevin Costner plays an ex-Secret Service agent hired to protect a spoiled, difficult to get along with diva receiving death threats. Whitney Houston portrays the spoiled starlet to perfection. The chemistry and interplay between Houston and Costner was electric. The music in the movie was also great.

There are really some key elements that made this movie extremely good. First, I thought the acting was top notch by all involved. The supporting cast really played their characters well, as did the stars. Secondly, the editing was outstanding. The movie and plot move along at a fast pace. There is not a dull moment in the entire movie. And finally, the plot was plausible (for the most part) and the mystery - who is the hit man - slowly reveals itself. Having watched the movie several times, there a several foreshadowings.

Overall I found it a most entertaining movie both as a mystery, a thriller, and love story.
