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

Synopsis

On they day of the Presidential Inauguration, Jack Bauer finds himself in the midst of a bloody uprising in the small African nation of Sangala. He must risk his life to transport a group or orphans to the American Embassy and sacrifice his own freedom to ensure that they are evacuated out of the country and make it safely to America.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, some more 24, 2 Oct 2008

By	Bauer "Mr Mysterious" (Harrow, London) - See all my reviews

My other review has been deemed not useful, so I thought i'd try and explain more. Fact is, IT IS same old 24, but for Jack Bauer, in a different environment. It's good to see Jack in another continent, infact good to see him out of L.A. There's part cabinet meetings, part gun-fights, and parts plain old Jack Bauer bada.ss. Fight scenes = very intense, as usual there are way in which Jack kills his enemies, that make us envious of just how cool this guy is. The overall atmosphere is different, it's more like a different style of 24, and since there's no CTU, no Chloe, Buchanan etc, it's bound to give breaths of fresh air to avid viewers.

Acting wise, as we all know, Kiefer does great as Jack Bauer, it's especially interesting to see how he communicates with the children of Africa, whom he's looking after. His face tells a 1000 words.

Jon Voight has less screen time as other chracters, but his character is crucial to the movie. Tony Todd (I searched him up on IMDB) is good in a villainous role, after seeing him on Chuck and a few random b-movies, it's great to see him in close center.

Vice President Daniels and Peter McNichols character also make a comback, it's good to see them back in action for the last time (unless they make a surprise appearance in season 7).

Overall, it's what we'd expect from 24, and i'm happy I got to see it early.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just a series opener, 26 Jan 2009

By	KM (England) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

On the day of the Presidential Inauguration, Jack Bauer finds himself in the midst of a bloody uprising in the small African nation of Sangala. He must risk his life to transport a group or orphans to the American Embassy and sacrifice his own freedom to ensure that they are evacuated out of the country and make it safely to America.

I've only actually seen up to the end of series 4 of 24 but I didn't find it too hard to follow what was going on in this extended episode. However, it wasn't all that great. Apparently this film was made to keep the fans interested due to the writers' strike as they were unable to make a full series last year, and it shows as for the most part it does just feel like a big lead up to series 7 as there are a lot of loose ends that are not tied up at the end of the film, so it really can't be watched as a stand-alone unless you're going to watch the next series straight afterwards. There is a fair bit of action for the most part but the Presidential Inauguration side of the story seemed completely pointless as it was literally just there to open up series 7.

Overall, for die-hard fans of 24 who are going to be watching series 7 immediately afterwards, give this a go - for others looking for a good stand-alone episode, I perhaps wouldn't bother.

4.0 out of 5 stars The following takes place between 3pm and 5pm - Spoiler Warning, 3 Dec 2008

By	Stevie G "Stevie G" (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

A set-up to Season 7 instead of a self contained episode.
Nonetheless, 24 Redemption is a major change of pace for the critically acclaimed show.
Jack Bauer is hiding out in the African village of Sangala, trying to outrun his demons. Unsurprisingly, they catch up with him, and a US court order demands Jack returns to explain his interrogation methods of certain suspects.
A military coup is taking place in the area, and Jack helps former service buddy Benton (Robert Carlyle) by escorting the local school children to the American Embassy. Although this struggles to feel like 24, it does maintain the series trademark tension. The storyline is also far from predictable, as the childrens fates arent sealed until the dying seconds. Jacks attempts to hold off a small army prove the magic is still there too.
In other events, 24's first female President is inaugurated, and new characters are introduced. The Presidents son is also dangerously close to discovering how the African general obtained his weapons supply.

After a long delay from TV, and a poor last season, its good to see 24 making efforts to keep things fresh. It isnt the first time the show has hit the reset button, and with a few minor exceptions, Jack is the only original character.
A good special, although its feels like an extended preview of Day 7.
Its due to be screened in January 2009, and marks the return of Tony Almeida! It will be worth watching to see how this is even possible.
