Actually, when I first saw the title, it didn't appeal to me. Because, if you have seen a few "bodyguard" movies, you can guess the plot settings. That is, there will be love between the bodyguard and the protected object... Almost, this type of film routine.
You know, it's hard to attract people without new ideas.
Fortunately, this show has a breakthrough.
Compared with such films, this 6-episode TV series is longer in length, so the director has more room for expansion, richer levels, and more ups and downs in the plot.
The protagonist, David Budd, is a military veteran who joins the Metropolitan Police VIP Protection Team, which is responsible for protecting Julia Montagu, the British Home Secretary and Member of Parliament, a political figure with a hot personality. (In the case of no spoilers, this is the introduction of the play)
The whole play is dark and black, mainly black and white. The weather is always cloudy, and there are few sunny days, just like the protagonist's post-war psychological trauma.
However, although the background color is cold, there are still many touching clips that reflect family affection and love in the film.
For example, the protagonist David has been separated for a long time because of his relationship with his wife. After learning that his wife has another new love, David endured the pain in his heart, but still said the following words... (Some netizens rated it as "" The saddest story")
Overall, the rhythm of the film is tight and not sloppy.
The opening scene is a suicide bomb on a terrorist train, which immediately grabs the audience's attention.
What's more, in the whole film, various forces are confusing, undercurrents are surging, and shootings, bombs, terrorists, gangs, political shady, infighting ...
It can be said that the plot is full of tension. There is suspense, there is reversal...
What's particularly exciting is that there are several plot settings, which are so thrilling that people are so nervous that they can hardly breathe.
All in all, it's a good movie to recommend.
However, if there is a downside, it's a little rushed at the end. The writer throws out a lot of lines and then hurries them back at the end, regardless of whether the lines are knotted or not. It seems that this has become a feature of many skits now.
Also, I don't think the title "Bodyguard" is a good one. If I got up, it would probably be "4 Bombs".
