Alcuni giudizi sul film :
| Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Eleanor Ringel Gillespie "Worth
a look if you're in the mood for some slick Hollywood escapism
that's done well enough, though not brilliantly." more... B-
|
| Boston Globe Wesley Morris "It's as dutiful and humorless as
any lesser Harrison Ford vehicle..." more... C |
| Chicago Sun-Times. Roger Ebert "...it is encouraging that
well-crafted thrillers are still being made about characters who
have dialogue, identities, motives and clean shirts." more... B
|
| Chicago Tribune. Michael Phillips "...a thriller that begins
well but middles and ends less well..." more... C |
| E! Online "If 24 were like this, you'd be asleep by noon."

| Hollywood Reporter. Kirk Honeycutt "Well-crafted Secret
Service thriller lacks plausibility and character development."
more... C+ |
| New York Post. Kyle Smith "Stale to the Chief." more... C
|
| New York Times. Stephen Holden "Why would a star of Michael
Douglas's stature and intelligence attach himself to a Washington
thriller as deeply ridiculous, suspense-free and potentially
career-damaging as The Sentinel?" more... D+ |
| ReelViews. James Berardinelli "I enjoyed the build-up more
than the payoff, which feels rushed and implausible." more... B- |
| San Francisco Chronicle. Mick LaSalle "A well-constructed and
genuinely tense thriller..." more... B |
| Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Sean Axmaker "(Eva Longoria's)
less convincing while running in heels and pretending to look
competent with a gun in her hand." more... C+ |
| USA Today. Claudia Puig "It's a competent, if forgettable and
implausible, thriller with some decent acting..." more... B-
