Darren B Bodyguard is a film that saw Whitney Houston make her best accomplished performance in showing a stubborn pop star who is not willing to accommodate any changes to her life until reality hits home. Kevin Costner is excellent and everything about this movie is something I can't stop watching. Could it be slightly better yes in terms of some of the screenplay flow but overall the film manages to pull off a well rounded film.

Surprisingly, I’m not a big fan of the “I Will Always Love You” version in the film. I love the album version, and I feel they should’ve used that version here, but I digress. Also, I totally agree with the majority of people: what the hell was that abrupt ending? You could’ve easily ended the film at the tarmac, would’ve been a lovely ending but no, they decide to end it on that weird note. The Bodyguard though, as a film, is a little disappointing. I mean, its got a familiar and cheesy story that could’ve had easily been awesome. I disagree with people saying there’s no chemistry between the leads, because with how Kevin Costner has talked about Whitney over the years, it makes sense for his character to be a little standoffish to her love. Its kinda mirroring what he probably felt in real life too, and I like that the love is told in a very delicate manner. The story had potential with this sick and twisted villain, which ends up being a cardboard cutout villain during the reveal. And again, this is a case just like Cape Fear where the Simpsons episode based on the movie is better than the film. This is pretty much an okay star vehicle film which is buoyed by the charm and charisma of the lead pair, the music, and just the general 90’s vibes which I oh so love. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Devonnia MONESHA C 1point for getting the cast together Mr. Director and including the Best Actor of the film THE BODYGUARD "Kevin Costner" played this role Excellently. 0point for for the Main Actress Whitney Houston. She is a poor actress for signing up to this role and in addition the script is written very poorly because it deeply depicts women in a Negative light when it comes on to the Laws of Attraction between a man and a woman. HONESTLY this script must be unwritten from the World's History and this film The BODYGUARD must be Forgotten and NOT Remembered... It is offensive (Rachel a biblical name especially) and it Degrades women especially racially. I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE so Permanently Delete It from Worlds History Thank you. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/24 Full Review Carlos I It's a bit of a cheesy melodrama, but it's got enough crowd-pleasing moments along with a solid performance from Houston to make it a perfect Sunday afternoon movie. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Zamya F It was incredible! The chemistry between Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston is undeniable, and the soundtrack hits so hard that it's brilliant! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/18/24 Full Review Roxy H One of my favorites. Nostalgic and the absolute best soundtrack. Some of the reviewers take life way too serious. Consider getting out a bit? Some of ya'll need a hug. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
