The Sentinel

Veteran actor and director Clark Johnson has done a lot of work in Toronto over the years and with Kiefer Sutherland as one of the stars it was a no brainer to shoot this film here....hell, they even worked old city hall into the equation. Much of this work has been in television and this mixed with post-24 Kiefer gives THE SENTINEL a made for TV feel. Having DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES Eva Longoria doesn't help this problem and even Michael Douglas can't shake it. Still, it's a fair little action thriller involving a plot to yet again take out the poor old President played by another TV vet David Rasche. We are also presently with yet another poor performance from Kim Basinger making one wonder when she will once again pull herself back up to snuff. A fair enough little time waster no doubt destined to be on Peachtree any day now.
