Synopsis

Leung is the bodyguard of a Chinese Triad boss, Wong, to whom his loyalty is unrivaled. Living in Hong Kong, Wong requests that his bodyguard travel to the UK to protect a young British woman, whose true identity is known only by Wong himself. Even Wong's son, Yuen, is kept in the dark, which leads to a betrayal that threatens to destroy the family and all that his father has worked hard to protect.

Fitzy Fitzgerald I do not know why, but I expected more from this movie. This movie was completely and utterly forgettable...I wish I could be more specific, but other than the title there was noting to brag about in this movie. in fact it took me 3 tries to get through this movie I fell asleep twiceThe story could have been great but between the acting and the action it was nothing to write home about. This movie almost makes me never want to see the first one again. I think my recommendation is for you to watch the first one twice and skip watching this one. Sorry folks I can only add that my Popcorn was yummy and my soda was ice cold and perfect.
onatsuki I living in Hong Kong, I don't think any Hong Kong Director will do something like this with low sense! All he do was pick some place around England and Hong Kong with exotic feel,choose some actor in low budget and learn English, the script...maybe his son provide it, what you get from this movie was laugh out loud about you waste your time to download something like this!lastly, remind you to watching the classic of Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston again,how can unrelenting criticism vote The Bodyguard only 5.6 and this one with 5.1? lastly, I hope the movie company will not use their calculate to admit making movie like this!
Richard Hawes Director Chee Keong Cheung's strengths and weaknesses as a filmmaker are as evident in Bodyguard: A New Beginning (2008) as they were in his debut Underground (2007). Both are ambitious, ensemble films blending melodrama and martial arts action, as lavishly filmed as their budgets allowed. Cheung clearly has the best eye of all the directors of independent British action films but has yet to master his craft. While the characterisation and plotting are more coherent than in Underground a lack of focus is still apparent. Vincent Sze is ostensibly the lead, but he's largely silent and fails to make much of an impression. He's not presented as the next Jet Li as one expects. Instead it is experienced co-star Richard Ng who effortlessly emerges as the real star. Shot partly in Hong Kong and featuring Hollywood villain Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Bodyguard is a distinctive if not wholly successful film that's well worth seeking out.
Arsenal411 Rubbish! This film tried so much to be like Romeo must die but didn't live up to it, instead of America it was UK. The acting was absolutely rubbish, the main actress looked more like a man barring the blonde hair and I have never seen a Japanese film with a triad or mafia hard man having two lousy British bodyguards one wearing glasses like something out of the Bgees. This film just blows! Avoid it at all cost! You are better of doing something with your time than watch this rubbish! So don't go to the cinema thats if its released. I would recommend Romeo must die again. So go to your local DVD shop and rent it out.
