So, Bodyguard is this unsold pilot from the early '90s, featuring Cameron Childes, a former secret service guy turned bodyguard. The atmosphere is gritty, typical of that era—it's got a raw energy. The pacing feels a bit uneven, like they were trying to squeeze in a lot in a short time. The themes of loyalty and protection run deep, especially with the mobster's ex-girlfriend caught in the crossfire after witnessing a murder. Performances are decent but not groundbreaking, yet you can feel the tension simmering. What stands out to me are the practical effects; they have this rough charm that modern CGI just can't replicate. It’s not a classic, but it has its distinct vibe that makes it worth a watch for those who appreciate the genre.
