the sentinel feature a sort of run of the mill and clichéd suspense or mystery but be lift with some good acting and taut pacing . these story have already for the most part go through as many permutation a we can bear and so what be leave with be how good be the acting and how smart be the setup and bad guy and how well craft be the main plot etc etc . so the sentinel do a solid job give it content . michael douglas and kiefer sutherland both maintain some good screen bravado and attitude . eva longoria ( first time i have see her on screen ) bring some satisfactory support . the whole affair side of the story be utterly implausible knock it down a bit and but it deserve slack . worth a viewing if you like the genre .
