24: Redemption

If you aren't familiar with the series this will make absolutely no sense. After season 6 of 24 (the worst season ever), I wasn't expecting anything from 24 ever again. I hate the new president (I miss you David Palmer) and there was way too much talking and not much payoff. The action was pretty badass and Robert Carlyle was a nice addition to the cast. Jack Bauer has just become too complicated a character for his own good.

All superbly filmed, but it's a pity that you have so many questions in the end if you haven't seen the series yet.. I got the feeling that it was just an extra long episode and not a movie..

2 torture scenes, hell of a lot of 24 clichés and one-man army Jack Bauer kicking some ass, looking forward to season 7!

Brings up some meaningful topics but uses them as nothing more than a backdrop for Jack Bauer to shoot people. Serves as a prologue to the seventh season. No reason to watch this unless you're watching the show.

I gather this is not an ideal entry point into the Bauer-verse, but it will have to do for me – it does feel more like an extended 90s era action TV episode than a real movie, and there are clearly a lot of plot thread subtleties that went over my head, but Sutherland makes for an excellent hang-dog hero, and the impressively eclectic supporting cast at least gives a good reflection of the clear esteem that the series is held in. Passable, but no doubt more interesting if you are a fan.

A decent if extended television film setup for season 7 of 24.

This film does it's job which is to make you want to watch season seven of 24.

It's more 24. Nothing special, but pretty good. Definite watch for those who enjoy the show, of course.
