The popular Fox series “24″ returns on November 23 with a two hour premiere movie called “Redemption”. As you can see from Fox’s trailer… they’ve covered everything. First female president of the United States? Check. Western judgmental lens on African civil war? You got it. This would be the best Jack Ryan movie ever, and for that matter, it would be the best movie released in 2005. But it’s not. It’s a 2008/2009 show with Jack Bauer, and so you know the drill: This will all be resolved in 24 hours.
About the show:
Filmed on location in Cape Town, South Africa, and Los Angeles, 24: REDEMPTION stars Emmy Award winner Kiefer Sutherland along with new cast members Cherry Jones, Robert Carlyle, Gil Bellows and Academy Award winner Jon Voight.
After sacrificing everything for his country, Jack Bauer (Sutherland) is wanted by the U.S. government and now stands to lose the only thing he has left: his freedom. Working as a missionary in Africa, Bauer is called upon to stop a ruthless warlord from drafting innocent children into his murderous militia. First, Bauer must confront his own torturous past and face an impossible decision that will change his life forever. A decision that will set the stage and raise the stakes for Season Seven, which debuts in January 2009.
