Wasn't it obvious who the mole was? - The Sentinel (2006) Discussion

YES!!! I knew who it was as soon as everyone started taking polys and he was urging everyone to take them but it never showed him taking one. For such a wonderful investigative department, this was SOOOOO obvious. I was screaming at the end, "Dick head didn't take the poly morons". Overall I enjoyed the movie, but this was a pretty horrible and predictable outcome. Maybe that's why so many people hate it.

I knew that Montrose was the mole as soon as I saw that Martin Donovan was playing him. He has a rather bland innocent look (don't get me wrong, I think is is good looking) and is often cast as the bad guy.

Yes, I guessed it the moment he demonstrated that he was going to randomly select the means of transportation for the Prez.

I just knew whoever would have that kind of power had to be the mole.

Yeah his evil look in that split second gave it away. Silly.

I knew basically from the start it was an ok movie right until the end when things started to get a bit silly

when this guy flipped the coin before the helicopter took off I knew. Plus this actor, he just had to be the guy. Anyway its a horses@*t film. Longoria isn't a good actress if she isnt doing that desperate TV show. 'Course Im not even sure shes good in that, I cant watch that junk. Sutherland was like he accidently mistook the movie set for his TV show. Sheesh he was exactly like his other character. Something for actors to remember is repetative-roletaking sucks, it can diminish even legend's careers. Too bad, I actually like Douglas, it would be good to see him pull off another great role sometime.

Yeah, they made the classic mistake of hiring an actor who -- while not A-list -- was obviously more prominent (and expensive!) than was needed for the role he was playing, so you just *knew* his part would ramp up before the end of the movie. And the only place for his part to go to was being the mole.

You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

Yeah, I pretty much suspected him the first time they showed his face. I didn't know he was in this movie, so I was happy to see him, but the way they were showing him kind of gave it away.

Tomorrow's just your future yesterday!
