All Critics (2) | Top Critics (1) | Rotten (2)

Ends in pure tedium, its 62-minute running time feeling more like three hours.

Top Critic
A solid but routine action B-film crime drama that plays like a Mike Hammer episode.

Audience Reviews for Bodyguard

Jul 16, 2020

Someone should consider making a movie about Lawrence Tierney's combustible life. He clearly had acting chops, but his booze fueled behavior got him into trouble and he never would fulfill any chance of being an A-movie star. Nonetheless, his B-movie work is worth your time and I might start with this noir directed by a then young director, Richard Fleischer, who'd go on to make several notable movies.
