| | Customer Reviews: 24 redemption (04 January 2009)I was realy looking forward to watching this, thinking that it would be a full episode of 24 hours, but it is not !!!!! It states two hours on the dvd but its not that long. The only good thing I can say is that the 15mins of series 7 is going to be well worth watching........ Not brilliant (29 December 2008)This episode is ok but it's certainly nothing special and I agree with the review stating it as more of a prequel to series 7 than a stand-alone episode. It's reasonable but does feel like a bit of a money-spinner (i.e. nothing happens which will be crucial to any plot). It's the kind of thing you would watch if bored for an hour and a half but I certainly wouldn't buy the episode unless it was heavily discounted. utter nonsense (27 December 2008)As a fan of the 24 series (except the political rubbish of series 4) I was looking forward to this. It is predictable, badly made (in one scene, the cameraman & aide can be seen for about 5 seconds!) and a rip off. Just wait for the real thing and don't buy this bunkum. Jack's back - but only in between jobs (22 December 2008)The movie of `24' was much touted as a standalone version of the series, more action, more drama - but falls short on all those counts. Jack is in Africa, teamed up with an ex army buddy (Robert Carlyle) looking after orphaned kids in an unstable fictional African country. When soldiers come to take the children, Jack's old habits rear their head once more. Meanwhile, back in Washington, as a new President prepares to take up her role, it is clear the old Presidency has some skeletons in the closet regarding the same African country. It's all routine `24' stuff, except for the African location. And not vintage `24' either. In fact, although Jack Bauer is an inherently watchable character, it's interesting to see how underwhelming the drama is when he is stripped of his interaction with authority, whether it be the President's team, or CTU. The action is still there, and Kiefer gives it all he usually gives, but in fact the more interesting interactions are Powers Boothe handing over to the new President, and Jon Voight barely appearing as a shady bad guy in an unnamed position of power. Which makes it all the more disappointing when that story strand is left hanging, clearly for season 7 to resolve. Jack does go from A to B rescuing the innocent and offing the bad guys, but without a whole season for twists and turns, double crosses and multi stranded stories - it all feels relatively flat and two dimensional. Disappointing then, but if you are a regular viewer then you can't afford to miss it. Whatever else this is, it's not 24 - the movie. It's episode 1 of Season 7. But that probably does not make it any less compulsive viewing for the 24 addict. And if that were in any doubt, the `Season 7 teaser' which comprises about 16 minutes of the first episode, is more exciting and involving than the whole of `Redemption'. THIS IS NOT 24 HOW WE KNOW IT!!! (19 December 2008)This should have got 24 back on track for the big release of season 7 for me it came of the rails and didn't get back on. There was no real tension with the real time factor as for Jack he wasn't the Jack we know and all love. The story seemed rushed from the word go I think it just seemed a bit pointless even doing it. I am massive 24 fan and I really was looking forward to the release of this but having watched it I will not be buying it to add to my DVD collection of 24 it really is a waste of money. I really do hope season 7 makes up for this because if it doesn't I think 24 will be losing a few fans will be a shame. |
