Sentinel [WS]

Fox has assembled a solid presentation of The Sentinel for this DVD. The transfer is as good as one would expect from a major studio; the video is colorful and free of blemishes while the 5.1 stereo soundtrack offers a strong, clear mix that makes solid use of the multi-speaker capabilities. The disc is rounded out by a series of bonus features. First, director Clark Johnson and screenwriter George Nolfi team up for a commentary track; it's pleasant enough and the two offer a decent amount of nuts-and-bolts info about the production. There are also two featurettes about the film and its portrayal of the Secret Service. Both segments veer into puff-piece territory, and those who enjoyed the film might be disappointed that there isn't a comprehensive making-of featurette about the film itself. Elsewhere, there are a series of deleted scenes with optional commentary by Nolfi and a pair of theatrical trailers. All in all, this is a quality disc likely to please fans of the film.
