Bodyguards: Secret Lives from the Watchtower (2016) Reviews

• Not a documentary, this is propaganda!

  ConqueringRuler2017-05-11

  I can't believe all the reviews about this so-called documentary. A lot of the users who wrote a review, just wrote one review ever, about this "movie", seems kind of strange to me and not very believable nor helpful. So let me get you some perspective on this. This is clearly not a documentary, it's much more like propaganda for US military and/or dubious companies like "Blackwater", which have killed civilians in their past! And Kim Coates as a narrator is just laughable at best, because when I hear him talk about "demented motherf**ers" as the enemy and stuff, that's just too much and not objective at all. So, thinking people beware and stay clear of this mess! 2/10

• Feels like a commercial

  Thought this was going to be an insightful look into the lives of bodyguards. Got 6 minutes into the movie and had to turn it off. The first guy talking about how motherfucking tough he is and how his company is the best in the world was laughable. Felt like a commercial for his company to be honest. I like Kim Coates as an actor, but as the narrator in this he was god awful and cringe worthy.

• 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!

• 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.

  Best part was all of the different viewpoints. Blackwater guys may be shady as hell but it is what it is... this doc at least shows what life is like for them. Kim Coates has an awesome voice that seemed perfect for the film. Bulger story has been told... but haven't heard this side. Pretty cool
