Clint Eastwood may be a little too old (plus he kind of already did his own version of this movie in 1993's iIn the Line of Fire/i), but Harrison Ford could have been iThe Sentinel/i's lead and lent the same kind of top-flight Hollywood superstar craft that Michael Douglas brings as a superstar secret service agent fighting a frame-up in a panicky countdown to peril. That the marquee name could have belonged to anyone with the same chops as Douglas is no slam to him, Ford, Eastwood, or anyone else of their ilk. iThe Sentinel/i is a crackling good thriller because everyone involved is working at the top of their game. Pete Garrison (Douglas) is on the presidential protection detail when another agent is murdered. A creepy informer tells Garrison about an elaborate assassination conspiracy that's related and well underway. Garrison also happens to be having an affair with the First Lady (Kim Basinger), the stress of which causes him to flunk a lie detector test when word of the plot to kill the president becomes more than just paranoia. pGarrison is soon on the run, being hunted by his protege David Breckinridge (Kiefer Sutherland, whose 24 experience gives his performance an extra edge). But Garrison is the best, using all his secret service wiles (and there are plenty, the details of which give added tension and authenticity to the taut script) to evade his former comrades as the clock ticks. You can often see the plot thickening a mile away, and as much as the movie wants to keep us guessing, the real bad guy is an easy mark for the audience. But the energy and kinetic skill which propel the action are always spot on and enough to keep us from caring about the giveaways. Co-star Eva Longoria is miles away from her iDesperate Housewives/i role and miles away from any real import of character in the movie. But the rest of the cast and the whooshing forward momentum of style and anxiety are plenty to keep iThe Sentinel/i in full-tilt suspense mode from beginning to end. i--Ted Fry/i

 OVERATED DUE TO A COUPLE OF A LISTERS!! December 31, 2008
The trailer is clearly the best part of the film and this has been overated big time due to the A listers actors in this. I had high hopes for this but was very dissapointed when I finally sat down to watch it. Kiefer Sutherland and Michael Douglas are the big stars but did they really want to be in this film by the look of it the answer is no, they both treat it as a big pay day.
 Pretty solid film June 20, 2008
This isn't going to set the world on fire but it has a lot of good spy potboiler fun in it, updated for a modern world. Some good setpieces, and Michael Douglas is still a good leading man. Pretty fair movie.
The Sentinel aka Watching Paint Dry June 17, 2008
I had the unhappy experience of watching this on blu-ray! Phew! Even the moderately crisp visual appeal and the colour styling was to no avail.What a dreadfully mediocre film and what a disappointment. br /One wonders whether this was a desperate ploy or a last-ditch attempt to re-establish Michael Douglas as a credible acting force. Clearly the central role would have been far better served by Keifer Sutherland who turns in a good, creditable performance. However the script can not be saved. It is predictable and unworthy of his talent. Kim Basinger is drastically under-used and turns in a barely workmanlike performance.All in all, one is just left feeling very dissatisfied; a political thriller with no thrills and even less political insight. As a narrative so many opportunities were missed here for suprise or interest. This one is straight to the sell-off bin. Keifer...Why did you do it? Was it just to pull in some extra cash for the divorce settlement? There seems to be no other reason for it let alone any advancement or enhancement of anyone's career with this banality. All that registers is just the ingrained memory of the abhorrent,living gargoyle mask that is Michael Douglas.OUCH! Never a looker, his appeal for Ms Zeta Jones is evidently clear....Was that a wallet in his pocket or was he just pleased to see her?
enjoyable June 8, 2008
this is a bit of a guilty pleasure but is a disposable fluff.it has nothing new and is complete assembly line fluff
 A real let down April 28, 2008

The Sentinel is a film that looks great on paper, or even in a trailer, but it fails to deliver. It starts off looking promising, think In The Line of Fire or Enemy of the State type conspiracy thriller. But it very soon descends into a rather tedious by the numbers effort. I kept waiting for a surprising twist or a great chase scene, but it never came. To be honest by the time the film ended I was just relieved, and quickly forgot what it was all about. It's a shame because it has a great cast, but it looks like someone decided "right we're going to make a conspiracy thriller" but then spent all the budget on the actors and with the ten quid they had left over they asked a ten year old to write the script.br /If you've never seen a thriller before, you might enjoy it, but you'd be better off with an episode of 24 or CSI.
