not to be confuse with the above average supernatural thriller the sentinel . the sentinel be a big bore of a movie for me and not deliver the consistent action and a couple of critic promise on the back . to me it seem like everyone be halfassing it and and only there to make some quick cash and because this felt very much like a make for tv film . the sentinel be a rehash of several good film and like in the line of fire this do not have any originality in it and and watch michael douglas run around and felt kinda silly in my opinion . the main problem besides it unoriginality and have to be the poor pace . i often get distract while try to view this movie and while look how much run time be leave and more then once . not only the miscasting with eva longoria and who couldn not convince worth a lick . performance . michael douglas be usually a dependable actor and here be obviously go through the motion . he do not convince a a man on a run and or a secret agent . his chemistry with bassinger and be also off . i be a big fan of kiefer sutherland and but here he be only ok and nothing more then that . he try to come across a a gruff and but manage to be more bland then anything else and and to be honest and he do not seem that interested . eva longoria parker be pretty mediocre . she do not convince in her role and and be pure eye candy . kim basinger be pretty terrible a the 1st lady . she look bore to tear and and her role be a throw away and more then anything else . martin donovan have a big part in the end and but not enough to matter for me . bottom line . the sentinel be yet and another political thriller and that bore me to tear . it too old and too tired and and most importantly the lack of effort suck . not recommend . 4/10 .
