SearchTHE SENTINEL by Clark Johnson28th June 2006
Pete Garrison (Michael Douglas) is a Secret Service agent and is responsible for protecting the First Lady (Kim Basinger) - and he has an affair with her. When a weaselly informer tells him there is a plot to assassinate the president (David Rasche) and a traitor in the Secret Service is involved, David Breckinridge (Kiefer Sutherland) is put in charge to uncover the mole. Pete and David were best friends for 10 years - until David accused Pete of sleeping with his wife. Follow up: detector-test, and because of his affair with the First Lady, Garrison doesn’t pass. On top of that, somebody has found out of his affair with Sarah Ballentine, the president’s wife, and attempts to blackmail him, and suddenly all evidence suggests Pete Garrison is the traitor.Garrison goes into hiding, and David Breckinridge and rookie Jill Marin (Eva Longoria) are after him, while Garrison uses his skills to try to uncover the plot, identify the mole and find the assassins before it is too late. The story sounds familiar, and everything you expect you will see - men in black suits wearing Ray Ban sunglasses, guns, sinister assassins, the hot but negligible sidekick (Eva Longoria), and Jack Bauer … sorry - Kiefer Sutherland in Jack Bauer-light mode.
