As a result, 'Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard' comes off just as smug and crass as its characters. (At one point, Sonia plows into Michael with a car, causing him to flip in the air, and he walks away unscathed one scene later.) Returning director Patrick Hughes overestimates the love for his trio and forgets to make any of them likeable. It's hard to invest in any of the characters, since none of them feel the least bit real, and the situations cooked up by screenwriters Tom O'Connor, Brandon Murphy and Phillip Murphy are straight from the Looney Tunes playbook. It all feels like a live-action cartoon, with a script punched up by giggling 7th graders, heads buzzing off of root beer at a friend's sleepover. Cue more swear words, more bullets and a handful of jokes about Hayek's breasts. The film then follows Rachel Marron's life from performance to performance. It seems that one of her fans is stalking her and has threatened to kill her, so Frank Farmer (Kevin Costner), a professional bodyguard and former Secret Service agent, is hired to protect her. Choose from contactless Same Day Delivery. (The movie opens with him literally dreaming of winning the award for Bodyguard of the Year.) The moment he goes on a vacation to ease his mind from the tensions of the protection business, he's interrupted by Sonia Kincaid (Hayek), who drags him into a hail of gunfire as she looks to free her husband Darius (Jackson), who has been captured by bad dudes.Ī bunch of explosions and a few dozen motherbleeping curse words later, the gang is reunited (yay?), and is mobilized by a foul-mouthed Interpol agent (Frank Grillo) to take down an international shipping tycoon, Aristotle Papadopoulos (Antonio Banderas). In her film debut, Whitney Houston plays Rachel Marron, a pop music superstar. Read reviews and buy The Bodyguard (Special Edition) (DVD) at Target. Frank Farmer is hired as a bodyguard for international pop singer Rachel Marron, but soon finds himself.
