Movie Reviews of The Bodyguard
Movie Review: "This is your last chance to call the royal guards!"
Summary: 4 Stars
The Good Things
*Pretty good video quality. It is generally clear and had good colors, but at times, it does feel like you're watching a made-for-TV movie or something.
*Good audio. Includes both English and its original Thai. Also had Spanish subtitles.
*Inclues a 30-minute making-of featurette.
*Filming style is pretty good.
*Includes some very slick exciting action scenes and a lot of weird zany comedy. Has a couple of cool martial arts fight scenes.
*Storyline is good, simple, and easy to follow.
*Characters are pretty good. Good acting.
*Interesting music.
The Bad Things
*Not for kids; contains violence, swearing, and nudity.
*Cover art is rather misleading. It looks like a stylish action flick, but is really a comedy.
*Some jokes are overly strange.
The Other Things
*Widescreen presentation enhanced for 16:9 TVs.
This film is nothing like what I expected (I guess I was expecting "Ong Bak" or something), but is still quite entertaining. The action scenes were great, and the comedy was often funny. If you like other Asian comedies (like "Kung Fu Hustle"), then you'll probably like this. If you like action, you'll probably like this anyway. But if you want pure action or crime drama, then this is not what you want.
