Joey O'Bryan Austin Chronicle Lively, unpretentious fun. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Robert Pardi TV Guide Li exudes enough magnetism to make the sexual banter with his fair damsel credible, and enough athletic prowess to simultaneously power this and several other vehicles. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 28, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Sep 29, 2005 Full Review Fred Topel About.com Was good as Bodyguard from Beijing Rated: 3/5 Aug 3, 2004 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Rated: 1/5 Mar 27, 2004 Full Review James Rocchi Netflix All this is made up for by the sheer visceral pleasure of Jet Li's charisma.

DanTheMan 2 The Bodyguard from Beijing is a bit of lively, unpretentious fun that takes Mick Jackson's The Bodyguard but replaces Kevin Costner with Jet Li and the weird musical numbers with kung fu. Corey Yuen directs with a visceral energy that wouldn't be out of place in a Wong Jing movie and although, the writing is certainly a bit on the hokey side Li's charisma as a real man's man shines through. With plenty of high-energy and varied gunfights to keep you engrossed, a solid musical score and a fantastic final fight to boot elevate what could have otherwise ended up as a rather undercooked and stale riff, yes it's rather generic but there's a heart-beating somewhere underneath its surface. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Liam D One of Jet Li (Last Hero in China, Once Upon a Time in China II) more underrated movies, a action packed Thriller full with characters that you care about Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/22 Full Review carlos t Minha opinião: Não é um dos melhores filmes de Jet Li. Um filme onde Christy testemunhou um crime. E para não ser morta Jet Li é contratado para proteje-la. E assim ele faz, proteger ela e seu irmãozinho. Como ela fica vários dias presa na casa ela fica entediada foge. E os bandidos aparecem e Jet tem que salva-la. E então contratam um grande assassino que vem da mesma formação de Jet. E chega o dia do grande embate, será que Jet salvará todos? Roteiro: fraco Vale apena assistir? Não Nota: 3 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member To those who loves a good Action movie with guns, this one should be on your list...now if you´re more prone to hollywood style action, then this might not be it. Jet´s portrayal of the bodyguard was perfect. There was action, romance brewing between the client and the bodyguard, and one man turns from evil to good.(keung save christy´s life in the end.) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Lesley E Awesome! Loved this movie as a kid, still love to this day. This film keeps you captivated from the very beginning right to the end. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/21 Full Review Audience Member Jet Li is incredible and can make the most boring, routine, and methodical security checks tense. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
