Bodyguard From Beijing Free Movie Download __HOT__

The demand for bodyguard services in Beijing is high. Since the Chinese economy has been booming, people have started earning more money. So much money, in fact, that people have become wealthy. Beijing is the city with the largest number of billionaires. According to BBC News, every 17 hours, another Beijing citizen becomes a billionaire.
Wealth comes with a price, which can vary from positive effects such as fame to adverse impacts such as threats like theft, burglary, being kidnapped, blackmailed, or assaulted. There have been several reports of attacks, kidnaps, and assaults on (ultra) high-net-worth individuals in China.
The growth of UHNWIs in Beijing increases the demand for covert personal protection and bodyguards. Yet, the profession of a bodyguard is relatively new to the country. In the beginning, there was no official description of the profession, nor were there any regulations. However, since 2010, the Beijing security law and national laws have incorporated the profession in its legislation, allowing firms to establish a protection agency and train their staff accordingly. The number of agencies increases every year, but often an international operating agency is consulted.

A corrupt businessman commits a murder and the only witness is the girlfriend of another businessman with close connections to the Chinese government, so a bodyguard from Beijing is dispatched to help two Hong Kong cops protect the witness.
The Bodyguard from Beijing is a bit of lively, unpretentious fun that takes Mick Jackson's The Bodyguard but replaces Kevin Costner with Jet Li and the weird musical numbers with kung fu. Corey Yuen directs with a visceral energy that wouldn't be out of place in a Wong Jing movie and although, the writing is certainly a bit on the hokey side Li's charisma as a real man's man shines through. With plenty of high-energy and varied gunfights to keep you engrossed, a solid musical score and a fantastic final fight to boot elevate what could have otherwise ended up as a rather undercooked and stale riff, yes it's rather generic but there's a heart-beating somewhere underneath its surface. Also, the annoying kid gets shot in the foot which warranted a cheer.
A once-lost entry from my Jet Li collection, which turns out to be strongly middle-of-the-road in terms of his HK entries. Rather than just a few elements that signal she's falling for him, this one instead shows it as a full-on plot-point to the degree that it really begins to drag the film down as she contemplates telling him or not. This isn't detrimental but rather slightly problematic, as this still manages to deliver the goods as an action film with some outstanding scenes including a marvelous shootout in a crowded mall that's just all kinds of enjoyable, a brawl on the city streets that works well and the finale in the house with a series of clever, ingenious shoot-outs before segueing into one of Jet's better brawls with the main bad guy who provides a good enough match overall. This was pretty good and only slightly flawed.
Jet Li stars as John, the titular bodyguard, one of the best from the Beijing military academy (as the title states) whose latest assignment is to guard the life of Michelle Leung (Christy Chung), the girlfriend of a wealthy Hong Kong businessman whom had witnessed a murder. After three prior witnesses have been killed, the Hong Kong police is entirely unavailable to send bodyguards reliable enough to protect Michelle, save for two bumbling rookies Charlie and Ken, and John is the best man for the job. Unfortunately, the syndicate who wants Michelle's life has sent Wong, a fellow ex-hitman who was trained in the same academy as John, and is close to as skillful as John is.
Hong Kong martial arts superstar Jet Li Lien-jie leaves his pigtail, swords, and spears behind for this entertaining modern-day action picture, opting instead for a full head of hair and a seemingly never-ending arsenal of handguns. Li plays a stoic bodyguard from Mainland China who is sent to Hong Kong in order to protect the spoiled young wife (Love on Delivery's Chueng Lai Tai) of a wealthy businessman who, after witnessing a brutal murder by Triad gangsters, is constantly in danger from their vicious hitmen. As the film progresses, the initially rigid Lai Tai slowly starts to fall for Li, who has himself become the target of a personal vendetta when he makes the mistake of killing an unhinged ex-soldier's brother in the line of duty. Although the plot and title bear resemblance to a certain American Kevin Costner vehicle, Li makes an infinitely more convincing bodyguard, the romantic subplot between Jet and Lai Tai moves in unexpected directions, and director Corey (Fong Sai Yuk) Yuen Kwai keeps the pace fast (unlike the ridiculously overlong Costner picture) and provides a brauva action climax to boot. It ends up on a cleverly ambiguous note, leaving Li's character's fate more or less up to the audience. There is some unwanted comic relief with Li's two bumbling cop sidekicks, as well as some goofy sitcom-esque transition shots, but for the most part, Bodyguard Fom Beijing is lively, unpretentious fun.
Michelle Yeung is the girlfriend of a wealthy Hong Kong businessman who has witnessed a murder. Fearing for her life, the businessman hires a top ranking official from the Mainland to serve as her bodyguard. The man in question is Allan Hui, a skilled bodyguard who has both skills in marksmanship and martial arts. The Hong Kong police also get involved with the mild-mannered Po acting as a second bodyguard to her.
The action, by the team of Richard Hung and director Corey Yuen, is exciting to watch whether it is gunplay or fisticuffs. The highlights involve Collin Chou as the insane ex-soldier Wong, who seeks revenge for his brother, who is the hired gun in the mall shootout scene. Chou really impresses with his martial arts skills, utilizing some nice kicking agility. His climactic fight with Li does involve some wirework but also has a nice little twist of the two combatants attempting to prevent themselves from getting killed by exposure to gas. However, this does allow to show Li showcasing some nifty handwork due to his wushu training.
When Collin Chou finally confronts Jet Li, it begins as a game of cat and mouse around the house. Once more it is all about the shootouts until Jet Li comes up with a cunning solution to stop the bad guys discharging their weapons. It marks the start of a near quarter hour of fighting action from Li and Chou around an open plan kitchen.
Beijing bodyguard John Chang (Li) is hired to protect pampered rich girl Michelle (Chung), who's the witness to a murder.

The bitch shamelessly embodies negative stereotype characteristics and raises a big stink over Jet Li telling her not to stand in front of windows and other such things. Only after he saves her from getting perforated in a shopping mall (she just HAD to go shopping, you see) does she decide that she is madly in love with him.
Edit: Story behind this oddly specific request. Actually I watch anime a lot and I have seen a couple of bodyguard anime with the same plot i mentioned above. Yona of the Dawn is the name of one the anime. So from anime I switched to tv series and wanted to watch one with a similar plot.
