"I said this house is wide open and you people have no clue what real security is or what it takes to achieve it." - Frank

Why watch this? There's a lot to like in this thriller, namely Costner and Houston.

Plot Summary: Rachel Marron is a famous pop singer and actress who becomes the target of an unknown stalker. Her manager hires Frank Farmer, a former Secret Service agent known for his exceptional protective skills, to act as her bodyguard. Initially, the two clash over Frank's strict security protocols and Rachel's independent spirit, but as the threats escalate, they begin to develop a deeper connection amidst the rising danger.

Dad's Preview:  This film is fairly standard romantic thriller fare, elevated at times by Whitney Houston's vocal and acting talents. She seems comfortable on camera. Her chemistry with bodyguard Costner is kept in check as part of the plot: two people who can't let emotions interfere with their jobs. There is a plot twist, but I saw it coming a mile off. That said it's a serviceable date night flick.
