The Sentinel
Independent on Sunday, The, Sep 3, 2006
The Sentinel is an unengaging thriller starring Michael Douglas as one of the US President's bodyguards. He gets a tip-off that there's an assassination attempt in the offing, and he quickly deduces that there must be a traitor within the Secret Service. Kiefer Sutherland, his fellow agent and estranged best pal, is assigned to hunt the mole but, because Douglas is having a clandestine affair with the First Lady, Kim Basinger, his shifty behaviour makes him the prime suspect.
Eva Longoriafrom Desperate Housewives is given a negligible role, purely to knock a decade or two off the cast's average age, but the film's other stars bolster the feeling that The Sentinel's sell-by date was circa 1986. Even the villains are a bunch of Cold War thugs from "Karjastan", which is apparently a former Soviet state whose inhabitants talk like Michael Caine.
