The Sentinel

Post by Phantasm »

Just saw this today, and was fairly impressed with the plot and the acting, although it was a bit like watching a short version of 24, with Kiefer Sutherlands character not that far away from being a more disciplined Jack Bauer.

The only thing that lets it down a bit is the weak ending.

I love me the 24. Sentinel I'll probably skip!

here's my mini-review from What's Playing?

-The Sentinel with Michael Douglas, Kiefer Sutherland and Kim Bassinger. You expect it to copy In the Line of Fire and then you say Murder at 1600 but it starts looking like Conspiracy Theory and goes off nicely on it's own way, David Rashe plays the President

so it's easy to see why someone wants him dead :biggrin:

This turned out much better than I expected.

I just couldn't get into it, and turned it off about 1/2 way through.
