Critics consensus

“The Sentinel starts off well enough but quickly wears thin with too many plot holes and conventional action sequences.”

The fast-food of the genre - it "gets the job done" and fills you up, but the hunger for more will undoubtedly return sooner rather than later.

The story is as compelling as watching the ink dry on a superfluous UN treaty.

More Shadow Conspiracy than In The Line Of Fire, this suffers from serious quality control issues. If you're looking for superior suspense, buy a 24 box set instead.

An enjoyably frenzied pulp thriller, not unlike the scripts for an entire season of TV's 24 being fed through a shredder over at The West Wing.
