Guardian Angel

1994 · 97 min

A punchy, trashy nineties action ride with a femme-fatale edge, easy to enjoy for its fights and its sleazy rich-world melodrama.

She's no angel of mercy.
Overview
Detective-turned-bodyguard Cynthia McKay is hired by a psychotic, icy seductress, Nina Lindell, the same woman who killed McKay's lover months earlier. With vendetta in her heart, McKay accompanies a flamboyantly playful womanizer through the glamorous world of the super-rich, as his protector. In a unique role reversal, it is the woman protecting the man from another woman, erupting into a deadly triangle of passion, suspense and action.
