Aimé et respecté de ses collègues, il est à présent chargé de la protection rapprochée de la Première Dame. Sa vie bascule lorsqu'un collègue et ami est assassiné avant d'avoir pu lui transmettre des informations de la plus haute importance... L'affaire est confiée au meilleur enquêteur du Service, David Breckinridge, ancien protégé de Garrison. Là où Garrison fait confiance à son instinct, Breckinridge ne se fie qu'aux preuves. Avec l'aide d'une jeune recrue, Jill Marin, les deux hommes vont bientôt découvrir l'existence d'un complot interne, visant à assassiner le Président. Mais très vite, les indices semblent désigner Garrison... (texte officiel du distributeur)

Un thriller moyen avec un brin de suspense et une distribution modèle. Il n’y a rien à faire, c’est toujours dans le rôle de Jack Bauer que Kiefer assure le plus !!!

Unfortunately, the brisk start, when a promisingly convoluted plot is outlined and sympathetic characters are introduced (Douglas and Sutherland were perhaps born for these roles), loses out with the arrival of a plot twist in the middle, which kicks off the millionth variation on The Fugitive with all the clichés, implausible forgiveness, and a bland finale as a bonus. It's no wonder that the hundred minutes, and a few on top, evaporate with the closing credits.

What does Michael Douglas get out of guarding the American presidential couple? The First Lady will... But it's not about whether the President can't fit through the doors of Air Force One due to having antlers. We're looking for a rat who wants to bite, Classic! What starts as a relatively interesting setup turns into another Fugitive, where only Kiefer Sutherland's Samuel Gerard's professional arrogance seems to work. The desperate attempt at dynamism fails due to disgusting panning and confusing editing, and the Toronto finale would make Frank Horrigan cry with laughter. Another Frank, Farmer, would shed tears of emotion at the very last scene. This wouldn’t have happened to him.

Cold turkey from a lack of Jack Bauer began to kick in sooner than I expected. That’s why I even bothered to dig up The Sentinel from the abyss of history. I must say that Kiefer Sutherland didn’t disappoint me in this respect, he’s just great in this sort of role and Michael Douglas also has a lot of punch in him for his age (both in terms of acting and his fists). The biggest downside of the movie is the screenplay, which is rather strange when they has such a quality topic in their hands. But otherwise it’s a fairly tasty snack for a dreary afternoon. 60%
