User Reviews

more appreciate Kevin Costner acting

I living in Hong Kong, I don't think any Hong Kong Director will do something like this with low sense! All he do was pick some place around England and Hong Kong with exotic feel,choose some actor in low budget and learn English, the script...maybe his son provide it, what you get from this movie was laugh out loud about you waste your time to download something like this!lastly, remind you to watching the classic of Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston again,how can unrelenting criticism vote The Bodyguard only 5.6 and this one with 5.1? lastly, I hope the movie company will not use their calculate to admit making movie like this!
