Former Secret Service agent turned professional bodyguard Frank Farmer (Kevin Costner) is convinced to be head of security for diva Rachel Marron (Whitney Houston) because she's been receiving elaborate death threats. At first she distrusts him but after saving her life she begins to respect his work and they start to fall for each other. But emotional attachment gets in the way of the job and might let the killer get to Rachel...

I know I've seen The Bodyguard once, probably in the theaters when it came out, but that was almost 3 decades ago. Naturally I forgot many plot elements like who is the real assassin. This is Costner at his leading-man height in popularity. Houston is not great (this was her first film role) but she sings a couple of songs and I remember what a great singer she was. The plot is fine, romance a bit fast and more action than I remember.

The Bodyguard still kind of stands the test of time and is an entertaining movie.
