Bodyguard (2016) Reviews
Bodyguard
With the film Bodyguard, Ebrahim Hatamikia managed to create a true masterpiece of cinematography. It tells the story of a bodyguard, and although there were films on this topic before, but this picture stands apart. The film is perfect from the standpoint of cinematography, actors, and ideas. The story begins with the main hero Hajji Heidar Zabihi, played by Parviz Parastoui, getting assigned to protect vice-president Dr. Solati. But during an assassination attempt by a suicide bomber the vice-president becomes injured and subsequently dies. After this Heidar receives another important mission to protect nuclear scientist Meisam Zarrin (portrayed by Babak Hamidian who received the Best Supporting Actor award at VIFF). The main character is constantly haunted by the images of his past and he questions his mission and his future. After some time he begins to doubt that he did everything he could to protect Dr. Solati. The film depicts well the modern Iranian society and although this film is very realistic it is also highly expressive. The film was highly successful in Iran where it grossed $1.85 million in the box-office but it is less known in the West. Nevertheless it deserves attention of audience and critics worldwide because it is not only a popular film, but is also a powerful and spiritual art house picture.

A true masterpiece with great story!
I'm not a big fan of Iranian movie but love Parviz's acting that's why I chose to watch this movie which I'm very glad I did!this movie has a great story amazing with amazing actors and actress.
Good attempt falls short
I'm a fan of HatamiKia and Saw this movie on the first day it came out because the fuzz and buzz was so much beforehand. I was expecting another masterpiece from Hatamikia, something like Glass Agency. Movie started well and was very engaging but suddenly fell down to level of a very normal film and stayed there for the rest of it... Actings were not superb at all even Parastoei who's a phenomenal actor wasn't extraordinary let alone the other actors. The worst part of the movie in my opinion is directing and story, specially the later. Screen play was just oofffff and get you lost (not in a good way). Most of the Dialogues were either too much of a show off or hard to understand or relate to. Simply put the movie was struggling so hard to be a masterpiece but falls short. Due to new story Bodyguard could be entertaining for normal people of the society (who watches movie occasionally) however professionals, semi-professionals and critics would find it boring and kind of weird.
I loved it
It was the best movie i have ever seen. This movie shows love , honor , courage and Patriotism.
Good movie
A movie that pays homage to bodyguards. A lot of assassination attempts fail with only one or two bodyguards perishing.These assassinations are often forgotten because the main target survives. This movie made me look at things differently. It made me respect bodyguards even more. They should be looked up to for their bravery and dedication to save human lives.
