The top mistakes in The Sentinel http://www.moviemistakes.com/film5028 en Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:55:31 +0000 115230 Agent Breckinridge claims that Agent Merriweather's firearm still had its safety on despite the fact that he had managed to clear it from its holster. Agent Marin then explains that in the local police academy, officers are trained to "draw your weapon and flip the safety in two separate actions" whereas the Secret Service academy "trains us to draw and flip in a single motion."

The G8 is comprised of Canada, United States, Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and Russia. In the room there are a number of non-G8 countries represented.
