Most helpful review The Bodyguard

  • Fun

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By Death Fish II from between the land and the sky , 19 Nov 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Entertaining action comedy from Thailand, a mixture of John Woo-style shootouts (in his Hong Kong days), some pretty raw language, exaggerated wire work fights, and jokes - a few of them quite funny. Ong Bak's Tony Jaa is in it, having a fight, but if you're hiring it just for that, be warned he's on screen for about a minute. There is also a pointless romance in there that luckily isn't given enough screen time to slow things down. Undemanding, funny and enjoyable. Thai language, with subtitles.

  • Stupid But funny

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By a customer from Oldham , 01 Jun 2007
    This really is just a stupid film. Do be aware that it is in Thai with English subs.

    The script is so mad that you after watch the whole film. It is funny in a stupid kind of way.

  • Hilarious Comedy

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer from Hampshire, England , 03 Mar 2007
    Even with the subtitiles this film is great comedy. Initially disappointed as we expected a good action film but we laughed all the way through. It's a real mickey take of all those low budget films you may have seen in the past with exaggerated stunts, blundering baddies and of course, the good guy gets the girl in the end !

  • The Boring Bodyguard

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By a customer from Essex England , 03 May 2006
    Dissapointing action comedy which just fails to pull off a decent shootout or fight scene. The only saving grace is a very brief appearance by Tony Jaa who instantly steals the moment. It gets 2 stars for 1 Tony Jaa and 2 the rant of the bald tango man near the end of the film.

  • Poor Thai Action Comedy

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By drunkenmaster (479 reviews) from Merthyr Tydfil, , 10 Dec 2005
    This is a major disappointment after the recent Thai releases. Ong-Bak and Born To Fight were both excellent. This takes a lighter approach and fails to entertain. The comedy is heavy handed and does not amuse. It is childish and stupid rather than funny. There is a little hope in the action sequences, but not enough to recommend this film. Tony Jaa makes a fleeting appearance that makes you laugh and provides the best fight action in the whole film, but you get to see most of that in the trailer. A shame. I was just beginning to get excited by Thai action releases.
