Decent.........that's about it

The movie started off slow, but had parts throughout it that kept you attentive. The storyline was decent and interesting, but fell short of anything memorable. Overall, it was a good movie but it probably is one that you will find... Full review

I can only laugh when reading the bad reviews on this movie. It was excellent and provided a nice relief from these movies that get their star ratings by casting sexy people instead of talented people (not suggesting that sexy people... Full review

I just caught this movie and it was terrific. It had a good story, the acting was great and the action sequences were well done. Anybody who doesn't see this because of the critics should quit reading reviews. They're dead wrong.... Full review

Good, movie, but one thing I didn't like was that it was the Fugitive in some sort of ways. I really thought that the story was very interesting and fun. Pete Garrison is the most decorated agent in the history of... Full review

Well, I was kind of part of this movie. I acted out as being a singer. It was cool having a acting career while in school. I got to meet Michael Douglas, Kiefer Sutherland and Eva Longoria. When I watched it,... Full review

An Entertaining Political Thriller.....Period!

I enjoyed this film. I thought it was an excellent political thriller about something that's never happened before - a Secret Service agent going bad and involved in an assassination plot. Unfortunately, for Michael Douglas' character, "Pete Garrison," they think... Full review

But the most disappointing element of The Sentinel is....$9.00 The Sentinel is a by-the-numbers thriller with an impressive name cast and very little creativity.....Similarly predicable is the film's regrettable script (from George Nolfi who co-penned Ocean's Eleven) and obnoxious camera work (from S.W.A.T's Gabriel Beristain).....This subplot, which stands as the most compelling element of the film, is duly ignored.....It is deeply flawed, stylistically, and so riddled with egregious plot holes as to be co ...

In a refreshing twist, it's Sarah Ballentine (Kim Basinger) who's having an affair, not the Prez, but even this is played out with the same lack of intensity or emotion that seems to cloud over "The Sentinel. And on more than a few occasions, there are lines that call attention to themselves as being flat or just not right, while the direction doesn't help much. ... Full Review

I enjoyed "The Sentinel" for its entertainment value. And for that I applaud "The Sentinel"--for making a picture that is not only entertaining, but also fairly accurate. or maybe it is just because they didn't like the movie. ... Full Review

Test audiences didn't like it," says director Clark Johnson on the yak track. It's a shame, then, that screenwriter George Nolfi's convoluted conspiracy plot about the assassination of the President keeps the Berettas holstered for so long. ... Full Review

The film is quite good, there are a few twists....Didn't like this film, thought the storyline was predictable and the ending weak.....I thought Michael Douglas gave a decent performance....Basinger is a better actress than we often give her credit for.....The photography really made the film for me and Douglas gave a brilliant performance..... ...
