I am a fan of the 2004 version so I was quite eager to investigate the original 1987 piece. I was ready to be set afire!
Well that didn't happen. This is an incredibly lacklustre movie that has had the tension and action sucked out of it and replaced with a Lolita feel. The relationship between the bodyguard and the girl in this movie is far more miss-directed love from the girl than a feeling of protective care provided in 2004. She doesn't want his protection she wants his love.
The dialogue is stilted and sterile much like the action.
The style of the cinematography is fundamentally unappealing, the use of sound is jarring.
Some nice moments from Pesci are the only small highlights.
