Trivia:
The film had to undergo some hasty re-cutting when test audiences jeered Whitney Houston's performance. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: In the scene where Rachel is handling the katana at Frank's place, it is clear from the regular scalloped pattern ("hamon") on the blade that it is not a real katana, but a cheap ornamental replica which would be blunt. Real katanas have an irregular hamon. more

Better than you think it is, 12 February 2005
8/10
Author: dbborroughs from Glen Cove, New York

The story of a superstar singer who falls in love with her bodyguard could have been a major disaster. I remember the previews and thinking it was going to be one. However once the film was out and I actually watched it I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this is a really good romance and a really good thriller. Of course its hokey and Hollywood and all of that but you get sucked in and carried along for its running time.

Trust me this is better than you think it is.

The only problem is that the film is a bit too long to do what it has to do. I think the problem is in the early part of the film where all of th e pieces are being set in motion, however once its all going its great.

Get some popcorn your honey and enjoy.
