    an ok documentary

    I don't know what it was about this documentary but I found it not holding my attention. Could have been my mindset or just the content I am not sure. They tried showing different aspects of security from celebrities bodygaurds to bodygaurds that are in war zones.

    I only found a couple of the segments interesting, Nelson Mandella's bodygaurds and the mob guys. The rest I found myself asking when those other guys would be back on.

    It was well put together and edited but I just found it not for me. So couldn't recommend it.

    Very cool look at the industry

    Didn't know much about this world and was happy they looked at all the varying degrees of Bodyguards. Definitely would not want this job... seems like they can't even have a life of their own. Seems like a lot of people had issue with the Blackwater piece. I am not a fan of these guys but don't think anything was stated other than the facts. Don't think there were too many "secrets" shared, but still thought it was real entertaining. Loved Kim narrating too. SOA!

    Walking a fine line

    It's about being close to someone but also having a distance to them and being professional about your job. It's not an easy task and you can't just put someone by your side as Justin Bieber himself realized (his own words, after having a friend who may have looked intimidating, but did not have experience in dealing with a really large crowd of fans).

    But Bieber is not the only one in this, there are also other people who get their time. There is also the music when there is no narration (good job by Kim Coates, an actor you may know from Sons of Anarchy, other TV shows or movies), which may irritate some people. Also the fact that we also delve into war zones, might not be what some may expect. But whatever jumps this may seem to make to things you didn't expect, it also gets us into the mindset of a bodyguard. But even there, you have different approaches. Not everything can be covered, but a lot is. Really enticing if you are interested

    Excellent movie

    This movie is a fantastic way to show the audience just how much work and time goes into being a bodyguard. They are constantly putting their own lives on hold and lives on the line while protecting the life of another. I certainly have a lot more appreciation and respect for what they do after watching this movie.

    I would actually like to see this made into a TV series as I was entertained throughout the movie and found each story interesting. I feel there is a lot more stories to be told.

    I would definitely give this movie a 10/10 and would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a great movie! 👍🏻

    Misleading

    Nothing secret. Actually, the secret is hidden away than attention is drawn to something else. So there is nothing spicy about the life of Justin Bieber. A big guy, hired to beat other guys who is going to tell you that it is hard to make it as a bodyguard as in protection for a famous person and not mall security. And yea, it might be weird to think otherwise. Nothing new. Nothing special. And certainly nothing secret. This is actually a dull advert to some protection companies.
