The Sentinel

I also watched this and thought it was pretty good.

Keither is doomed to play that agent type guy for ever more.. Douglas still has the magic!
 
I totally agree - this guy will go his whole career without ever eating or peeing while on screen!!! :D

i was a little disappointed by Eva - i think she could be a good little film actress just waiting to see her in a bigger role.
 
I saw the trailer months ago and it seemed ages way thhen when they said it opens in September. But it looks good. IS Kiefer playing a Jack Bauer type role. Looks a bit like it to me. Nothing wrong with that if he is.

Mind you I am not expecting to be able to have a chance to see this film as my local 6 screen Cineworld is going through one of their phases where they heavily promote a film and it never shows up! Recently both Lady in The Water and My Super Ex Girlfriend were heavily advertised. Neither showed up. I asked in the foyer and was told it is because POTC2 is till popular. So come September 1st with The Sentinal up against new releases like The Wicker Man and Adrift I dont hold out much faith as POTC2 will screen yet again!!!!
 
"holster your weapons!!!!" - the trailer I saw on tv for the sentinel just had Jack Bauer.. I mean Kiefer Sutherland's character.. yelling that in a very Bauer-esque way. This alone would make me want to see it.

24 film anyone??!
 
As I predicted in my previous post The Sentinel did not show up at my local Cineworld. The nearest town showing it is Crawley which is 40 miles away! I have already checked the listings from Friday and it will not be showing. I was down there this afternoon to see Adrift (quite enjoyed it) and they are advertising The Sentinel as showing from this Friday even though it isnt!! I also heard a chap ask a member of staff what is showing on Saturday morning kiRAB club and they didnt know. Dont their staff have access to the internet?
 
I happen to watch it saturday night also, keifer is in full 'jack bauer' mode, but still not a bad movie, a tad predictable, but still watchable.
 
Yes if you like 24 you'll enjoy this. Think of an above average episode of 24 and you're in the right ballpark. You won't be on the edge of your seat, but you'll certainly not be popping out for more minstrels, if you see what I mean...
 
I thought it was a huge let down.

The film had so much potential, what with Keifer and Michael but it was a huge disappointment. It was basically 24 season 1 - a plot to kill the president and ...a mole!!

Maybe I expected too much, it was an OK film but could have been so much better. The plot didn't help - it's been used so many times before.
 
Really good movie, enjoyed it a lot. Kiefer Sutherland steals the show, but Michael Douglas puts in a good performance.

It was a little obvious to me who the traitor is tho.
 
I was very disappointed by The Sentinal as I thought it was a very average film which was very predictable as well!
I am a major 24 fan but I thought Kiefer was wasted in this film as his character wasnt half the man Jack is!
