Amazon.co.uk Review
Love him or hate him, it’s good to have Jack Bauer back on our screens. Played with sneer and menace by Kiefer Sutherland, the ruthless ex-Counter Terrorism Unit agent is the kind of guy you’re glad is on your side, and this time, 24: Redemption finds him facing up to demons of his own.
Set between the sixth and seventh seasons of 24, Redemption transports Jack Bauer to Africa, and it doesn’t take long for trouble to flare up. His mission this time, only inevitably it gets more complex than this, is to get a group of orphans to the Embassy safely, even if it means putting his own freedom on the line.
While 24: Redemption leaves some of the familiar cast of the show at home, it does have some impressive names joining Sutherland on this particular adventure. Robert Carlyle’s mysterious character for one is a fine addition, and getting Jon Voight into a villainous role is entirely to be encouraged.
Most impressive of all though, 24: Redemption shows real signs of the franchise getting back on its feet, after the juddering, muddled sixth season, that left many wondering if the show had enjoyed its best days. Now? There’s a real thirst for season seven, and a hope that the extended break the show has enjoyed has been put to good use. Because nobody, nobody does this kind of edge-of-the-seat TV thriller better than the 24 team. --Jon Foster

Set somewhere in Africa (mostly), Jack is back. Although the plot is somewhat predictable, the tension crackles throughout, and the ending sets up series 7 nicely. Meanwhile on the other side of the Atlantic, I am not altogether convinced by the new lady President, but Jon Voight as the new baddie shows real menace - this looks extremely promising indeed. 24 has provided consistently rivetting viewing throughout its long run (except for the slight dip in Series 6) and is streets ahead of most other American long running series (with the possible exception of The West Wing). Redemption is a fitting prequel to the new series -bring it on!

DAMMIT that was awesome!
A definite for any 24 fan! Sets up a great foundation for important elements of Season 7. I thought it'd be quite predictable, like the series at points, but actually the end was... Read more

Not bad but not great
Gotta be honest this is not up to the usual 24 standard, not bad for a couple of quid if you're a fan of 24 but don't build your hopes up.

This is not a film of 24!
Having read various reviews I feel frustrated that people are criticising it as it isn't the film they thought it was going to be! This is a 2hr filler between series 6 and 7. Read more

Jack is Back
As far as I am concerned '24' is a cracking series. 1,2,3 and 6 being my favourite (not watched series 7 as yet)

worth a watch.
Decent enough film but hardly any bonus features. Worth a watch but dont pay too much for it. No more than £5 in my opinion. Less if at all possible

24 hr Redemption
I was a bit dissapointed by this film. It is basically a very short version of a series of 24 but so short that none of the characters or situations have any of the characteristic... Read more
