Sentinel

Pros: Good cast. Interesting plot.
Cons: Some slow spots, unanswered questions. Plot could have been stronger.

Over the years, I have seen a few different movies that have dealt with the President of the United States and the Secret Service. I have enjoyed most of those movies. I was interested in seeing The Sentinel when I first saw a preview for ...

Pros: Douglas, Sutherland, and Longoria are decent, had a good premise
Cons: not enough drama, not enough excitement, needed more action

Much was made about the underlying theme of the 2006 film The Sentinel. Never in the 141 year history of the Secret Service had a mole ever infiltrated the organization, and thus they had remained strong by providing trust and dependability to ...

Pros: Good acting and action
Cons: Weak, somewhat unbelievable plot

When I first saw trailers for "The Sentinel", I had to admit that I was a bit confused. There was Kiefer Sutherland running around with a gun while working for the U.S. government. The ads for the movie often appeared on "24", one of my favorite ...

Pros: Nice cast, some cool parts
Cons: Unrealistic, underdeveloped villains

The Sentinel stars Michael Douglas, Kiefer Sutherland, and Eva Longoria in an action thriller about corruption within the Secret Service and a plot to assassinate the President. It is from Clark Johnson, director of S.W.A.T., and based on ...

Pros: Good, convincing acting, lots of action and intrigue...
Cons: ....story is somewhat convoluted and hard to follow.

We decided to go to a matinee on Friday right after work. Hubby wanted to see "The Sentinel" and I have to admit, watching the trailers on TV, it certainly looked like an action packed movie. How could a dedicated secret service man, with ...

Pros: Great acting
Cons: Extremely weak story

Pete Garrison (Michael Douglas) has spent his whole life working for the Secret Service. He's risen through the ranks, and his current job is head of the First Lady's (Kim Basinger) security detail. Complicating his life, he and the first lady have ...

Pros: Good looking cast and performances by both male leads.
Cons: It feels a little wooden at times.

Twentieth Century Fox and Regency Enterprises present The Sentinel (2006) which begins showing real footage of the attempted assassination on former President Ronald Regan. The story then moves to Secret Service Agent Pete Garrison (Michael ...

Pros: Casting
Cons: Obvious rip off from other films. Unoriginal.

The Secret Service has a distinguished history of providing security to politicians in the highest levels of the American government. However, what if there was a plot to kill the president that included his own escort service? In The Sentinel, ...

Pros: The flow, the acting.
Cons: Non-original story.

This is primarily a mystery movie. The question that looms over everything is who wants to kill the president. We follow along with the secret service that is doing the investigating. And during this process there are a few unexpected twists and turns ...

Pros: Why Eva Longoria and Kim Basinger of course.
Cons: The plot read like Swiss cheese.

The Secret Service: what government institution is more shrouded in mystery and thrilling aura that the Treasury Department’s (now Department of Home Land Security) Secret Service? And what better man to play an aging, but still effective Secret ...

Pros: Good cast, well intentioned
Cons: Flat, slightly incoherent story at times

With a knockout cast of Michael Douglas, Kiefer Sutherland, Eva Longoria , Kim Basinger and David Rasche, "The Sentinel" could have been a superlative movie. But it's not, though it's not disastrous, either. It is mostly strangely, jarringly uneven ...

Pros: Keifer Sutherland, Decent Action Sequences
Cons: Average Plot, Extremely Predictable, Misuse of a lot of good talent

The Sentinel Starring: Michael Douglas, Keifer Sutherland, Eva Longoria Directed by: Clark Johnson Written by: Georg Nolfi Based on a book by: Gerald Petievich Preview Review Posiedon – The Summer is coming which means ...

Cons: Unthrilling thriller without thrills or suspense--

Early in "The Sentinel," in a flashback, we learn that Pete Garrison (Michael Douglas), Secret Service agent, somehow failed to protect President Ronald Reagan from being seriously wounded in an assassination attempt in 1981. A couple of decades ...

Pros: acting, some thriller scenes, Sutherland and Douglas had good chemistry, TORONTO!
Cons: lack of character development, hard to follow sometimes, nothing really special

The Sentinel starring Michael Douglas and Keifer Sutherland is a pretty average action film, based upon a plot to assassinate the President of the US (not Bush unfortunately) and a false accusation upon Peter Garrison (Douglas), a Secret Service agent, ...

Pros: Michael Douglas
Cons: Weak Plot.

Introduction I love Michael Douglas movies as they usually have a lot of intrigue and thriller factors in them. Movies like Basic Instinct, Disclosure and A Perfect Murder all fall into this category. But, off late his ...
