Plot hole: Right at the end when Pete calls for the "Hard Car" to evacuate the president, he gives very specific orders as to the evacuation point. Considering he was to be arrested on sight, there is no way he would know any of the security arrangements and they would surely have changed them radically because he was such a senior agent. The Secret Service is constantly changing their security.
The Sentinel (2006)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Clark Johnson
Starring: Kiefer Sutherland, Michael Douglas, Kim Basinger, Martin Donovan, Eva Longoria
Continuity mistake: When Kiefer is running, he steps in a mud puddle. After that his shoes are clean and shined, and his suit is clean also.
Pete Garrison: You want to shoot me? Forget about the Kevlar. Shoot me in my face.
Trivia: Many of the director's own family members appear in cameos in the film. One of the more obvious instances is the suspicious cashier at the convenience store, played by the director's mother.
Question: Is it really true that when you use a silencer the bullet slows down and is not as strong as if you did not use a silencer?

Chosen answer: Sometimes. A suppressor, known commonly as a silencer, works by reducing the sound of firing by manipulating the escaping propellant gas, and sometimes by reducing the velocity of the bullet. It all depends on the type of suppressor that is used.
