Recently I went to see the heavily advertised movie, "The Sentinel" with my friend Jason who is a Keifer Sutherland fanatic. The movie stars Sutherland as well as Michael Douglas, Kim Besinger and Eva Langoria. The film's plot sounds good on paper. In 141 years there has never been a traitor in the Secret Service until now. There is a plot to assasinate the president and it roots from inside the Secret Service. The suspect is Douglas' character, who is innocent but is being framed. The twist is that he is having an affair with the First Lady. Agent, whatever his name is, I dont remember because it was not worth committing to memory, is hired to take on Douglas. Turns our Sutherland and Douglas are old friends and Douglas is married to Sutherlands ex-wife, whoa watch out! Anyway, the film was ok and just ok. The plot, in reality was ok, the acting was ok and the twists and turns were ok, I guess you could say it was meteoker all around. The flick had an element of predictability that I was hoping would stop. I was expecting a big twist at the end, but it never came. Overall, I wasted $8.50 on a movie that I should have waited to rent on DVD, oh well.
