Because it’s easy for Hannah to protect Jack.

But the more time she spends with Jack, the more real it all starts to seem. Even though her ex, like a jerk, says no one will believe it. And so Hannah-against her will and her better judgment-finds herself pretending to be Jack’s girlfriend as a cover. Only one catch: He doesn’t want his family to know about his stalker. When Jack’s mom gets sick, he comes home to the family’s Texas ranch to help out. But a few years back, in the wake of a family tragedy, he dropped from the public eye and went off the grid. Jack Stapleton’s a household name-captured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, famous for, among other things, rising out of the waves in all manner of clingy board shorts and glistening like a Roman deity. But the truth is, she’s an Executive Protection Agent (aka “bodyguard”), and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his middle-aged, corgi-breeding stalker. Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener. Hell, he does more of his own stuff in this film than Jet Li has done in all of his.Published July 19th 2022 by St. The always impressive Xing Yu (Wrath of Vajra, Shaolin, Dragon Tiger Gate) gets to let lose more than a few time which is great also! Yue Song may take a while before being accepted as a HK action star A-lister, but with The Bodyguard, I feel he has channeled the power of Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa in his role and completely delivers 100%. The stunt work looks painful and amazing, and often reminded me of the Tiger Cage movies, with fight choreography much like that of Donnie Yen's work today. Story line and the technical side of the film won't win any awards anytime soon, with a predictable tale and odd editing choices, but from the get go The Bodyguard makes you sit up and take notice with its impressive hard hitting, stunt filled fight sequences! Mostly showcasing the real skills of the actors, we get the odd spat of wire work to enhance (what we soon find out) their kung fu powers but it doesn't take away from the excitement on screen at all. Look, its not perfect, and no doubt like everyone else you probably hurt from laughing when you saw the trailer while searching for Sammo Hung's film of the same name.? Fear not though! What The Bodyguard (or Super Bodyguard as some countries are calling it) offers is a very welcome return to the golden age of Hong Kong cinema with newcomer, director and star, Yue Song proving to be a martial arts action hero to keep an eye on.
