It happens to run the course of Sean Penn's Political career from lowly origins up to the day the Louisanna Legislature attempts to Impeach him from the Governership.

...named, this film shuffles around all these pawns on Penn's chessboard, and you never really know if you love Penn's charachter or hate him... There's something not quite right about him, and it's facinating.

...away. The Sentinel is a swift, silly and ultimately extremely enjoyable thriller with all the style of a modern day pic and a dash of old style Hollywood which makes most of its flaws fairly insignificant. This is helped by some pretty decent characterisation, a familiar but interesting story and an exciting finale.

A lot of people are still angry about this Titanic film, claiming that a great tragedy has been turned into a soppy soap opera, ...
