Synopsis
Never let her out of your sight. Never let your guard down. Never fall in love.
A former Secret Service agent grudgingly takes an assignment to protect a pop idol who's threatened by a crazed fan. At first, the safety-obsessed bodyguard and the self-indulgent diva totally clash. But before long, all that tension sparks fireworks of another sort, and the love-averse tough guy is torn between duty and romance.

Review by KYK ★★★½ 4
1) whitney <3
2) i've never had a big problem with kevin costner but he really doesn't do it for me here — man has bad posture, is way too hung up on reagan, has unprofessional freakout, randomly beats up cook in the kitchen (can someone explain?). actually him casually beating someone up while eating nectarine was kinda hot.
3) was left wanting a bigger Music Moment from whitney
4) it kinda slapped regardless
35mm. Film Forum.

Review by Sean Fennessey ★★★ 2
Never seen this before! An absolute curio powered only by its stars, a gauche, overdetermined sense of ‘magazine photo shoot‘ glamour, and the purest powerhouse singing of the decade. Holds the rare distinction of being one of the few non-Indiana Jones/Star Wars scripts that Lawrence Kasdan wrote but did not direct. It’s got all the hallmarks of his obsession with ‘40s film archetypes perverted with modern flourishes (see also: BODY HEAT; SILVERADO).
Mick Jackson directed some of the most sophisticated made-for-TV movies of his time (1984’s THREADS and 1995’s INDICTMENT: THE MCMARTIN TRIAL; LIVE FROM BAGHDAD; TEMPLE GRANDIN) and some of the lamest studio releases, too (CLEAN SLATE, Dana Carvey’s failure-to-launch star vehicle; VOLCANO). Jackson’s a true for-hire paradox, too… -
Review by single white femalien 6
whitney houston and kevin costner have literally zero chemistry the whole premise of this movie is low-key insane (it's a little like road house but instead of a hot in demand BOuncer that everyone is desperate to employ it's a BOdyguard theyre all like oh man we gotta get world renowned bodyguard kevin costner kevin kevin we need kevin KEVIN PLEASE please kevin guard my body i am begging you kevin like he's #1 in the bodyguard magazine's annual rankings well except for that one year he fell off after he wasn’t there to protect ronald reagan??? wtf????? road house is obviously the superior movie btw hey what if patrick swayze was the bodyguard then this movie would for sure…

Review by Kylo ★★★★★ 1
So incredible to finally experience this classic on the big screen for the 30th anniversary. I was blown away by how cinematic it felt. The voice of Whitney coming through the loud speakers was like nothing else.

Review by Lebowskidoo 🇨🇦 🎬 🍿 ★★★★★ 2
I was there when this movie came out. Younger audiences looking at it may wonder what all the fuss was about now, but this movie was massive at the time. It was timed perfectly with Whitney Houston's ascension to mega-stardom, the soundtrack exploded upon the world, and still remains powerful today. The Bodyguard was a significant pop cultural landmark for the early 90's.
The movie holds up, in my opinion. The romance is not broadly painted, it's developed more realisticly than this kind of movie usually is. Houston and Costner have a little heat between them, you really want them to get together. Houston is nothing less than magnificent, especially in her concert scene. Knowing her ultimate fate in reality…

Review by Jacob Knight ★½ 1
If this were 90 minutes, I'd probably defend its wanton weirdness. The fact that Costner takes Whitney out on a date to YOJIMBO and then the two play with samurai swords at one point is just one of the many odd decisions. Not to mention the optics of a white dude who worked for Reagan coming in to save a black pop star and her family. You can feel the 70s seediness seeping into Kasdan's finished script, but this is just too goddamn "90s studio picture" to ever become a legitimately scummy thriller. At 130 minutes it drags on FOR-EV-VER. Just a nightmare I had to pause several times or fold laundry during to ensure I didn't feel as if I lost my entire night to this bizarre vortex of soccer mom melodrama. Not pure garbage, but definitely comes close.
