I wasted $8

How, you might be asking, did I waste $8. I went to the movies and watched The Sentinel. The movie stars Kiefer Sutherland, Michael Douglas, and some girl from Dsprt Housewives (that was my first clue that this movie was headed south). It was your typical government conspiracy, assassination attempt on the president. It was very mediocre, with no engaging highs or lows. The worst of it is this--the movie tries to make you respect and feel for one of the characters that does not deserve it. He ends up being a good guy, when in reality he is very bad, but just not as bad as the really bad guys. I am asking you if you can think of any more movies that do this. This seems to be a trend of recent, or maybe i am just now picking up on it. What do you think?
