Well acted and pretty well made romance-thriller with two charismatic performances from Costner and Houston. A little far-fetched at the end but I still enjoyed this, especially for the music from Houston. **3.75/5**

The Bodyguard
1992 EN 129 min
Overview
A former Secret Service agent grudgingly takes an assignment to protect a pop idol who's threatened by a crazed fan. At first, the safety-obsessed bodyguard and the self-indulgent diva totally clash. But before long, all that tension sparks fireworks of another sort, and the love-averse tough guy is torn between duty and romance.

"Farmer" (Kevin Costner) had been on the security detail when President Reagan was shot, and so maybe isn't on anyone's "must hire" list now that he has gone freelance. Luckily for him, pop sensation "Rachel" (Whitney Houston) has been getting some poisoned pen letters and so her friend "Devaney" (Bill Cobbs) asks "Farmer" to come beef up her security. Her mansion isn't exactly secure, and her extensive household aren't especially interested in changing that either, so his new discipline irks just about all including his client.
