A cheeky dismantling of spy tropes and a love letter to Cambodia, THE SENTRY follows a Western agent who thinks he’s about to make another routine kill—until a local guard refuses to remain a footnote.
From the filmmaker behind Karmalink (Venice Critics’ Week), THE SENTRY blends 70s nostalgia, action-comedy, and a sharp jab at neocolonial narratives.
