movie: The Sentinel (2006)

watched it last Saturday.. straight to the point, i give it 3 out of 5 - a good movie.. :D.

all the four main and supporting actors and actresses are at their top form.. Michael Douglas in his usual charm, Kiefer Sutherland giving the audience a very convincing role, Eva Longoria (well, what more can i say) looking hot no matter what she's wearing, and Kim Basinger in her element..

the story are engaging.. based on a novel by Gerald Petievich.. overall you get a big picture of what is going on.. but after leaving the theater you start to question so many sub-plots that, though it doesn't affect much on the whole show, began to bother you..

reason it didn't make it to 4? sub-plots (or as i like to call it in RPG terms, the side quests) are hard to follow and give you headaches.. some backgrounds of the characters were not presented well enough.. and lastly, it is sad for me to notice that Kim is starting to get wrinkly and all..

side note: for those who have grown accustomed to Keifer's and Eva's work in 24 and Desperate Housewife, respectively, you might find it a bit harder to let their new role to sink in.. :).
