THE SENTINEL(2006)
Not sure why so many people pan this movie! Sure it's a
bit preposterous, but what movie isn't? I thought this
was quite exciting and a fun ride! Well worth the watch! B+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
This could have been a great action thriller had it had
a better script.
Michael Douglas does his best with a tricky role, but
he and Kiefer Sutherland should have swapped roles. As
Jack Bauer-lite he would have been more believable in
the action sequences than Douglas was.
I imagine that we will have to suffer the Russian mole
raised as American story for ages, but it did work somewhat
here. What didn't work was the Secret service Agent having
an affair with the Prsident's wife. How totally unbelievable!
If nothing else, this was a good excuse to watch Eva Longoria.
That's enough for me. - lastliberal
