     The Sentinel
2006  PG-13  ACTION  1h 48min
CAST— Michael Douglas, Kiefer Sutherland, Eva Longoria, Kim Basinger, Martin Donovan, Ritchie Coster, Blair Brown, David Rasche, Paul Calderon, Gloria Reuben
MUSIC— Christophe Beck  DIRECTOR— Clark Johnson  BASED ON— The Sentinel (novel), by Gerald Petievich

     Michael Douglas laces up his running shoes for this thriller that uncovers a secret within the United States Secret Service. Douglas is a Secret Service veteran, a legend to his coworkers. But if word got out that he’s been sleeping with the First Lady he may wanna start filling out job applications. Anyway, there’s a rumor that someone’s plotting to kill the President and Douglas is suspected of being involved. To prove his innocence he goes on the lam to find those setting him up, staying two steps ahead of Secret Service agent (and former friend) Kiefer Sutherland and newbie Eva Longoria. All too predictable, though mildly entertaining for the duration.
OUR RATING— ** ½
