the sentinel represent everything about the soul lessness of hollywood and the sadden lack of imagination present in so many movie these day . i can not possibly think of one good thing about it and it all so generic and so factory make and so lazy assemble that it really only exist a an infomercial on how to make money from the unsuspecting and undeserving public . a plot about a secret service agent plan to assassinate the prez could well be entertain . if handle by a good director or care cast that be . douglas be the one who be frame . basinger be the first lady and with whom he be have an affair ( an undeveloped and unresolved plot contrivance ) . sutherland be the best pal who believe his guilty because there would be no movie if he do not . and longoria be nothing . a woman with a fortune of maybelline and . that it . i guess there be less requirement for woman when enter the secret service . a usual in a film like this the role of the prez himself be nothing more than a tool and a token and be very badly write . clark johnson and he who give u the equally a pathetic swat back in 2003 and mechanical direction lack any kind of signature and have all the visual sophistication of a cheap tv movie . douglas and basinger and sutherland look incredibly bore and phone in their performance from afar . eva longoria and the most over exposed woman of the 21st century and be basically only in this to attract to the desperate housewife audience . her role be 100 % pointless and she do absolutely nothing to further the plot or add to character development . she barely have 2 line to rub together . a truly shameless marketing ploy . if youre a glutton for punishment then do not let me stop you . but it be time and money you would not be get back .
