Bodyguard: A New Beginning is a 2008 film about the Hong Kong triads that toogles between Hong Kong and London.
The story is about a power struggle between Kai and Wong. Wong has been in power for over 40 years. Kai is a foreigner in Hong Kong looking to move into someone else's territory. Wong's son Yuen eagerly wants to take over for his old man. When Wong suspects that a secret may be in danger, he sends his best bodyguard to London to protect her from afar. They eventually meet as he rescues her and they get it on.
Back in HK, Yuen is secretly working with Kai to oust Wong. But Wong has eyes in the sky and knows all. Things turn ugly and everyone fights at the end.
The movie was interesting as it was mainly in English. There's Cantonese scattered in 30% of the dialogue, but there were subs to move it along.
In all, it wasn't bad and certainly wasn't good. But I enjoyed it as I fast forwarded through roughly 20% of the movie.
If you didn't know, Carl and Richard are real life father and son.
