A secret service agent who takes on the assignment of being the bodyguard to a singer/performer; not exactly a strong plot. Quite typical as a romance does build between them. Acting was mediocre except for Kostner who is the movie. Decent... Full review

The only reason this movie was a megahit was because of that over-played, annoying Whitney cover of Dolly Parton's great song. This should have been a lot better movie, with a good premise but sadly executed with a lame subplot, long(and... Full review

This movie is not great by any stretch of the imagination. Many ludicrous things are happening all the way through it, things that would NEVER happen in real life. However, there is a certain chemistry between Whitney & Kevin, and strangely,... Full review

Two professionals of different kinds. One who has to cultivate an outgoing and accessible air because that's how she makes her living, and one who keeps his emotions in and tries wherever possible to stay in the background as part... Full review

this move was sad and had a really epice style some drama but not a lot I would requset it to wach to all ages... Full review
The Bodyguard is an OK film, but nothing particularly exciting, I am usually a huge fan of Costner's but here he pretty much bored me, and Whitney Houston should really stick to singing, plus while there are a few memorable... Full review
Excellent Chemistry between Houston and Costner

I don't care if people say it's a chick flick. I don't see it that way. I think this movie was a great start for Houston's acting career. The character of Rachel Marron was complex, and her personality clashing with Fram... Full review

Actually, she handles portions of Bodyguard pretty well. For the most part, The Bodyguard offers decent entertainment, though it suffers because it never quite decides what it wants to be. It's a decent flick but not a particularly strong one. ... Full Review

DVD Talk
Overall, it's a comfortable, predictable thriller that works fairly well due to two performances that aren't that stellar on their own, but seem pretty solid when paired together. Final Thoughts : It seems even a little more dated and corny now, but "The Bodyguard" still works moderately well, despite its flaws. ... Full Review

Superficial but pleasant romantic thriller that lacks substance....Yet somehow this became one of the most successful movies of its year and it does have a charm that is hard to explain.....A much more convincing plot.....The soundtrack still contains one or two highlights.... ... Full Review

His performance might seem utterly dull were it not for his medieval-monk haircut, which just about martyrs his handsomeness.....would have been wise to leave in his bottom drawer, The Bodyguard is an outrageous piece of saccharine kitsch -....To say that Houston and Costner fail to strike sparks would be putting it mildly.....Whitney Houston is a diamond without flaws:....The Bodyguard is riddled with soap-opera idiocies, from Rachel's madly jealous sister (Michele Lamar Richards) to Frank's big guilt comp ...

Washington Post
"The Bodyguard" is a great silly mess of a luv story, a multimedia circus of music videos, entertainment journalism, action thriller and '60s movie melodrama carried by the dream couple of the '90s, Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. The playful moment leads to the off-camera release of passion that director Mick Jackson captures symbolically with a shot of her panties draped over his sword. ... Full Review
