The Bodyguard

The Bodyguard (1992) starring Kevin Costner, Whitney Houston. Professional bodyguard Frank Farmer (Costner) takes on the job (against his better judgment) of guarding a celebrity named Rachel Marron (Houston). At first the two clash, then (surprise) they fall in love. The movie suffers from a near-chaotic script, with all kinds of odd developments going unexplained. The idea of teaming Costner and Houston must of been the main impetus behind the  making of the film, and it's not enough to sustain this or any other movie. The romance between the two almost works, but it doesn't quite ring true. Houston, unfortunately, was not much of an actress. (Subtitles in English, as well as closed captions, are available.)
