It's The Bodyguard but Whitney Houston's songstress is Diane Kruger playing the wife of a shady arms dealer, her bodyguard is an ex-soldier who shows signs of post-traumatic stress, and this is muted, French, and sophisticated, not a crowdpleasing Hollywood blockbuster - and it is engaging for the most part except that it ends up not having much to say about Matthais Schoenaert's security guard whose vigilance and over-suspicion seem warranted in his line of work, leaving him a sufferer of mere dizzy spells and sweats, perhaps just in need of a hug?
