I enjoyed it, I don't know how bodyguards are vetted but as an avid crime/spy type story reader the main protagonists alway seem to be alcoholics or have some other problem in their private lives so I wasn't surprised.
In the real world,
Bodyguards are often self employed. They get their work via word of mouth / reputation. Some get work via agencies.
Many are good at hiding ptsd when in the field.
Ptsd / personal problems etc are widely exaggerated in the movies - they are not remotely all like that at all.
I don't see the Schwarzenegger comparison at all Ray but have to admit I have never rated Arnie as an actor and I think the acting in this is brilliant.
I had to hold my breath in some scenes too....I'm totally hooked...great drama
