The Sentinel - Dir: Clark Johnson


You certainly can't complain about the cast on paper of Kiefer Sutherland and Michael Douglas. Unfortunately they both seem a bit wrong for the roles they are playing. Kiefer plays some kind of FBI agent and does his Jack Bauer impression all the way through. Douglas is such a great actor but never really gets out of second gear here as the secret service agent framed for an assasination attempt on the President. Direction and editing is a bit weird in places and feels like you've missed something sometimes. Kim Basinger and Eva Longoria is a bit wishy washy. Overall it never quite comes together. Not truly awful and does ramp up towards the end but only a JM SUCK IT AND SEE.
