The Bodyguard | 1992 | R | - 3.3.5
Romantic thriller starring Kevin Costner as a top-notch, ex-Secret Service agent hired to protect a super-star singer, played by non-other than super-star singer Whitney Houston.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - No nudity. One sex scene, but we only see a man and a woman in bed, completely covered. Some talk about sex. An intruder apparently breaks into a woman's house and masturbates on her bed.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - The film opens with gun shots. We see some blood. More gunshots and an explosion. Threatening letters.
LANGUAGE 5 - A couple of F-words. The threatening letters contain some nasty language.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Premarital sex, sexual obsession, jealousy, greed, some scenes of drinking.
MESSAGE - It is impossible to not get involved, if you have a heart.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
