the bodyguard

i havent seen this one in over 15 years, so all i really remember of it is the whitney houston soundtrack. and i'll bet i am not alone on that either... turns out, its actually a pretty decent flick! i didnt intend to watch it, i was just channel surfing one afternoon and came upon it on one of those lifetime channels- and i got sucked in! i'm a big fan of kevin costner, so i guess i was predisposed to stop on it and give it a chance. the film follows costner, a safety obsessed bodyguard, as he is assigned to keep houston's character safe. she is a huge movie star/musician who is nominated for an oscar and has a crazy stalker who is after her. i'm sure you can figure out that over the course of the film they fall in love and the stalker gets closer and closer. its a bit predictable, but the suspense that is built over the course of the movie is gripping and by the end, the twists and turns are done well enough to really invest you in it. not too bad for a predictable love story!
