The Sentinel

The Sentinel is an entertaining movie at first, then slowly falls a part. It's well made with good direction, good writing and good acting, the problem is that it's not suspenseful, not intense, and just to predictable. Michael Douglas and (the very underrated)Kiefer Sutherland are both good. Eva Longoria is okay, considering she's not in the film much. Kim Basinger however, is a huge disappointment, she's given nothing to do and is wasted. not to mention, the ending is a letdown. It's well paced, smart and cleaver, but when it's over, you'll want more.

Can't figure out yet why I still watch some flicks

The lack of realism in political thrillers makes me feel very angry. The Sentinel it's just another stupid action flick about threats to the american president and a -much less charismatic- "fugitive" that tries to save him.
David Rasche will always be HAMMER. Nothing more, nothing less.
