What this really means is that Blayne is actually a multimillionaire CEO who happens to be good buddies with the Canadian military and he doesn't know what to do with his new-found feelings for his superhot female bodyguard.

There are actually quite a few amazing women in the world. That doesn't mean you can/should be in a romantic relationship with all of them.
And I doubt she's working for free, so she is already getting more than just a mere thanks. Her salary should reflect what she "deserves." More importantly though, what does his wife and family deserve? My guess is a better husband.

Thing is, if this was ever made into a movie, Hollywood would make sure to portray the affair in a positive light.

You know what would make this a Hollywood blockbuster, and critically acclaimed as an "important film"? Have the same bodyguard, but make the CEO a woman who devoutly loves her husband. CEO and bodyguard, through close contact and close scrapes, fall in love. They even get to kiss (make that a real tight close-up shot, with the camera lingering on the napes of the necks and the bun-restrained hair tumbling down loosely about the shoulders). They learn about a "different kind of love". But in the end, the bodyguard requests another assignment, and the CEO is back with her husband, bearing the secret memories of a forbidden love affair that almost was.
I'm thinking that Blayne and I should get together and go to Hollywood to pitch our idea!

It could be good if it involves a lesson learned, sincere repentance, and a healing and strengthening of the marital relationship.
That said, I can't see any way in which marital infidelity would improve my marriage. I just mean in a dopey Hollywood way.

Since we're talking about Hollywood...
The CEO has an affair with his model-turned-bodyguard. However, at the same time he starts suspecting his wife of having an affair as well. The marriage suffers greatly. After many explosions and car chases, they eventually discover that they are both having an affair with the bodyguard. This knowledge strenghtens their marriage and the CEO is pleased that his wife has discovered this "different kind of love" that he has wanted to suggest to her for years. The three of them live happily ever after.

No. The wife wouldn't be old. Or, if she was, she'd still be amazingly beautiful. This is Hollywood after all.

Exactly. That's why it would end up being Keanu. After all, someone has to look dazed and confused during all the explosions.

Now there's a plot twist* I love. Halfway through the movie they discover that the bodygaurd is actually from Krypton, but she lost her memory after a near death fight from another Kryptonian. Oh yeah.
*The other day my friend got tongue tied and when she meant to say "plot twist" she said "twat plist." I laughed for hours.

Kryptonians don't lose their memory from tangling with other Kryptonians. They lose their memory from tangling with asteroids.

Two actresses that I have found more believable as physically tough women than Mila: Gina Torres Katee Sackhoff

I suggest the snakes are an endangered species and the bodyguard (who had been an environmentalist in between her modeling and bodyguard careers) has to choose between the lives of the snakes or the life of her boss/lover.

Because they've played tough characters? Or they just seem tougher?
I don't agree or disagree, I'm just wondering how you decided that the girl from The Fifth Element and Resident Evil wasn't tough enough and that Zoe was. Is she too pretty to be tough? That I could agree with.

Because they played tough characters that I beleived.
Mila's character in The Fith Element was believable, as long as you accepted the facts that she had superpowers. Hence my comment earlier "Unbelievable unless she has superpowers.".
I believed Mila's tough character in Resident Evil about as much as I believed that Catherine Bell was a tough combat marine -- not at all.

Well, if we're going to have snakes, then maybe this guy should be the bodyguard. That way nobody will get hurt, including the snakes.

The snake guy should be the pilot of the plane. Who's having an affair with the wife. And the plane explodes halfway through and they all have to land safely using the snakes as parachutes.

Those are two versions of Cobra Commander, a bad guy in the GI-Joe cartoons from my childhood.
