We love this film. It is a touching but gritty story about a man, played by Denzel Washington, who signs up to be the bodyguard of a little girl from a well-to-do family in Mexico City. The bodyguard has recurring memories of serious combat and drinks to quell the memories. He admits this to the family, and they hire him anyway. After a time, the bodyguard and little girl become fast friends after he trains her to win a school swimming competition while her parents are away. The little girl is kidnapped by Mexican abduction gangsters. It turns out the girl's father is part of the kidnap deal, because he needs the money. Some of the Mexican police who are corrupt aid in the abduction. An honest journalist and the police captain try to find the girl. The bodyguard determines that the fast and best way to get her back is to do it himself. He has all the training he needs in his past to do this. He pursues the gangsters, reveals that the father was part of the abduction and returns the girl to her mother--at mortal cost to himself. Fast paced. Some violence. Beautiful story!
