Bodyguard movie review: what critics say (13)
What critics say Critics are divided: 3 of 13 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 6 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the action.

Read the full reviewIn Bodyguard the effort may be once again in the tradition of Wanted, Dabangg and Ready. Snag is that its majorly unsteady. Result, its the least likeable of the lot. Of niceties like plausibility it doesnt have a jot.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
