The Bodyguard
1992

Director: Mick Jackson
Cast: Kevin Costner, Whitney Houston, Gary Kemp, Bill Cobbs, Ralph Waite

It would be injustice to call this depressingly long and numbing romantic drama about a singer and her bodyguard a thriller, but that's what it aspires to be. Kevin Costner has the expressiveness of the monolith from
2001: A Space Odyssey and Whitney Houston sings every 30 minutes.
