The Bodyguard 《特工爷爷》Movie Synopsis:
The Bodyguard shows a retired bodyguard (Hung) who has settled in the dark and unknown corner of the world where China, Russia and North Korea meet.

The Bodyguard 《特工爷爷》Movie Review:
While this is supposed to be an action-packed movie, there is something heart warming about the movie, the friendship between Sammo Hung and Andy Lau's daughter, which is of no difference from a genuine pair of grandpa and granddaugher. The 64 year old Sammo Hung may have shown signs of old age, he is still vigorous in mind and body. The special appearance of Andy Lau is surprisingly short which many wished he could have appeared more in the movie.If you are into actions and thriller only, this movie may not totally fit your bill as half of the movie covers about the love between a grandparent and grandchild. However, the storyline of the movie is pretty well drafted, I will still recommend the movie and rate it with 3.5/5.
The Bodyguard will be officially released in the cinemas on 7th April 2016.
