But now, wrongly suspected of targeting the president for assassination, Garrison has become the Service’s worst nightmare. As he uses his formidable skills to try and prove his innocence and find the real assassin.

Critics' reviews

"A slick enough thriller about a presidential assassination attempt. It is also a rather mechanical, soulless affair"

Kirk Honeycutt: The Hollywood Reporter
"Implausible yet enjoyably diverting thriller"

Jami Bernard: New York Daily News
"A half-hearted exercise in political paranoia, The Sentinel unravels its wrong-man scenario with business-like efficiency and an impressively jittery visual scheme"

Justin Chang: Variety
"An unassuming thriller, a nifty piece of genre filmmaking without frills or self-importance. It's a throwback, if you will, to the days of B pictures, when formula movies were made with a maximum of skill and a minimum of pretense"

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
"Sentinel is a medium-dumb thriller that starts out with momentary promise but gets progressively sillier."

Desson Thomson: The Washington Post
