Underrated Manly Movies: Part VI

The Sentinel (2006)

We’ll go off in a different direction here, into the realms of contemporary espionage.  The Sentinel is a movie that’ll probably divide people but I think the point of these lists are to root out underrated movies.  To illustrate differing opinions on this one, it is ‘Rotten’ over at you know where, at 33%, but Roger Ebert praised the movie with a 3/4 rating.  I think the movie is decent.

It stars Michael Douglas, Kim Basinger and Jack Bauer himself, Keifer Sutherland.  In this one, there is a plot by Neo Nazis to stiff the POTUS and, into the bargain, frame Michael Douglas for it. Sutherland is investigating, Douglas must prove his innocence.

At the time when I watched this, I found the story refreshing.  The Islamist stuff was just rampant and, quite frankly, boring as fuck.  There’s only so many movies where you can watch some dude in the Middle East get tracked by a fancy drone.  The movie is not an amazing picture, not really.  However, it’s good for one viewing, some bored night.  And it has a pretty transfer on Blu-Ray. It might be a decent find for some…
