The Sentinel Reviews

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a pretty cool cast, I was quite eager to check it out. Eventually, there were indeed some good things and some other things which were not so great. The good stuff : the whole thing looked good and I thought it was rather well directed. There was also a nice and competent cast (Michael Douglas, Kiefer Sutherland, Kim Basinger), I especially enjoyed to see Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland together and I thought they made a really interesting duo. Kim Basinger was also a neat choice to play a very charming First Lady. On the other hand, even though it was a nice surprise to see Eva Longoria in a thriller (she just had her breakthrough at the time thanks to ‘Desperate Housewives’), and even though she did her best, I thought that her character was rather poorly developed and I’m not sure if she was really a good choice for this part. On top of that, the story was not really impressive and it was actually rather far-fetched. Still, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, I think it is a rather entertaining thriller and I believe it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
