I just recently watched The Bodyguard again and i forgot how good it was.
Costner plays the role of the obsessed bodyguard perfectly and Houston's first feature film performance was flawless.
This story of an obsessed stalker terrorising a famous performer and the bodyguard trying to protect her at all costs, was made in a refreshing way, even to compete with todays movie standards
Mick Jackson's The Bodyguard is a great movie to watch over and over again even when you find out whodunnit .
