The world's top protection agent is called upon to guard the life of his mortal enemy, one of the world's most notorious hit men. The relentless bodyguard and manipulative assassin have been on the opposite end of the bullet for years and are thrown together for a wildly outrageous 24 hours. During  their journey from England to the Hague, they encounter high-speed car chases, outlandish boat escapades and a merciless Eastern European dictator who is out for blood.-WWW Note:  Not for the very young and faint of heart.  There is morbid humor, some irreverent expletives, violence and many more things not laudable, but there's true love and the "no killing of innocents" kind of thing.

Cassius: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings." Julius Caesar (I, ii, 140-141) This is another film that I don't get tired watching.  Yes, maybe it's not critically acclaimed(mixed reviews) or anything to that effect, but it's a movie that pulls heartstrings and makes you smile.  It's more than a movie about fate or its twists, it's also a movie about decisions and true love. Only You  is a 1994 American  romantic come...
