	UGO.com Film/TV - Review - The Sentinel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The Sentinel is one of those movies where everyone who works with each other has some melodramatic skeletons in their closet to work out by the final reel.
		For The Sentinel to reach those lofty levels of thrilling glory, there are several plot holes that bring the action plummeting to the ground.
		Sutherland and the performances are stable across the board, but the plot pushes Kiefer to the background for the final half, reducing him to a bit part, and the formula kicks in, driving the film to a dull ending.

	La Sentinelle / The Sentinel / Arnaud Desplechin / 1992 / film review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The film is as much a portrait of contemporary student life – albeit in a rather elitist circle – as it is a conspiracy thriller.
		Indeed, one of the reasons why the film has such an impact is because it switches seamlessly from the world of the familiar to the world of the distinctly unfamiliar, occasionally catching us off guard and shocking us with images which appear, at first glance, surreal, until they assume a frightening reality.
		The film is also far more character-oriented than most thrillers, and for much of the film there doesn’t seem to be much of a plot to speak of.

	Christmas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Western culture, the holiday is characterized by the exchange of gifts among friends and family members, some of the gifts being attributed to Santa Claus (also known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas and Father Frost).
		A notable example is the film It's a Wonderful Life, which turns the theme of A Christmas Carol on its head.
		In North America, film studios release many high budget movies in the holiday season, many of them being Christmas films, fantasy movies or high-tone dramas with rich production values, both to capture holiday crowds and to position themselves for Academy Awards.

	The Sentinel
		This film is cheesier than most of its type, not just because of the storyline, but for a couple of other reasons as well.
		Films rated below five are generally awful even if you like that kind of film - this score is roughly equivalent to one and a half stars from the critics or a D on our scale.
		Any film rated C- or better is recommended for fans of that type of film.

	CNS Movie Review: The Sentinel
		When a mole in their ranks is suspected, a departmentwide polygraph test steers suspicion to Breckinridge's mentor, Pete Garrison (Michael Douglas), a grizzled veteran who, in the film's fictitious telling, took a bullet for President Ronald Reagan during the 1981 assassination attempt.
		Full of twists and turns, "The Sentinel" strikes a nice balance between being a smart mystery and a straight action film, with some dexterously executed chase sequences.
		The film ends in conventional fashion, however, with a shootout that could have been assembled from outtakes of "24," though the overall violence is kept relatively low.

	The DVD Maniacs - Forum - The Sentinel
		"The Sentinel is a mess - trying to boil down a novel into a 92 minute running time results in a bizarre melange of soap opera characterizations and deliberately overcomplicated plot surprises, plus a handful of grindhouse shocks to keep the audience paying attention.
		His approach is way too hamfisted to create the chilling ghost story this could have been and the scares turn out as ludicrous as they are nasty (especially that tacky, hysterical shock finale).
		That said, The Sentinel can be quite a fun mess if you are into Hollywood-gone-schlock messes (guilty as charged).

		The Sentinel, which premiered in 1996 as one of the UPN network's first original series, is at heart a high concept show.
		Now a Sentinel is chosen because of a genetic advantage, a sensory awareness that can be developed beyond normal humans." Ignore the vagueness of "all tribal cultures," because the speaker is Blair Sandburg (Garett Maggart), an anthropology grad student expert in all things Sentinel.
		Their very assortment is a reminder of a different time, when cell phones were the size of large paperbacks and the threats to the American way of life were multi-faceted, not yet subsumed by the monolith specter of Global Terror.

		Clarke is best known as co-author with Stanley Kubrick on the script for the history-making film 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was based on concepts of alien contact that he began writing about in 1951 and eventually fleshed out in his classic novel Childhood's End.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review
		Both films are structured around interlocking but separate groups of young people in Paris, who are connected by a central character on an obsessional quest.
		In The Sentinel Mathias, who's less naive--the son of a deceased French diplomat in Germany who comes to Paris to study forensic medicine--discovers that someone has put a man's severed head in one of his suitcases, and he spends most of the remainder of the film trying to discover who the man was.
		Both quests intersect with art as well as politics (The Sentinel adds science to the mix): Mathias' sister Marie (Marianne Denicourt) is seen rehearsing classical songs, and his sometime girlfriend studies art history--rough parallels to the characters who have theater rehearsals in Rivette's film.

	slant // magazine.com: Film Review - The Sentinel
		iefer Sutherland may appear in The Sentinel as a Jack Bauer-ish secret service agent who likes to bark at underlings for being one minute late to work, but his presence merely heightens the impression that Clark Johnson's follow-up to S.W.A.T. is the anti-24, a sluggish, stupid, one-dimensional thriller in which almost nothing suspenseful happens.
		Despite the profession's supposed suit-and-shades coolness, the squad's top dog is an aging, decidedly unhip Michael Douglas, whose agent Pete Garrison—eventually framed for trying to assassinate the president—likes to sneak away from duty for a bit of beach-house boinking with Kim Basinger's (apparently over-medicated) First Lady.
		The resulting raggedy, TV-drama visual flatness, however, is perfect for a film that boasts all the tension of a wet pancake, has about as much get-up-and-go as a slug, and features a trio of apathetic lead performances from Douglas, Sutherland, and the thoroughly underutilized Longoria.

		When I stumbled over this film a few months ago, I was quite astounded I had never heard of it before considering I am such a fan of 1970's horror films dealing with satanic influences.
		The conclusion of the film definitely constitutes one of the more disturbing endings I have seen in a horror film, and it does so with a lot less gore than you would expect.
		The atmosphere of this film is more suspenseful than terrifying, but the psychological drama of a normal person facing unspeakable evil is very well portrayed.

		The Sentinel manages to get itself almost exactly in the middle of that space: it is done well enough to make us forget the paint-by-numbers script and, though it probably will not occupy any space in my DVD collection, is still an entertaining evening at the cinema.

		The Sentinel looks like an attempt to get 24’s audience in and out of a theater in a couple of hours.
		Garrison uses his formidable skills to try and prove his innocence and save the life of the President, all the while being tracked by his protege, agent Breckinridge.
		It doesn’t take much effort to spot the story’s twist about 20 minutes into the film, and when we finally find the mole and the assassins, their motives are hardly compelling.

		Directed by Clark Johnson (he of the awful S.W.A.T. The Sentinel stars Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland as former friends forced to become allies after a plot reveals an unknown mole inside the Secret Service.
		The Sentinel’s sleepy rhythm persists: The actors act important and alarmed, conducting investigations and taking polygraph tests, and then something blows up or someone fires a gun.
		For that to happen, The Sentinel would need a script that goes beyond a backyard game of war, offers fully formed characters, and has an understanding of what the nation’s reaction would be if such a plot actually occurred.
