24: Redemption (2008 TV Movie)
9/10
Long Awaited but Definitely worth it
24 November 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Here are my comments while trying hard not to reveal too much of the show. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and felt that it was well worth the wait. The change in location was great and it was well filmed, emotions were clearly conveyed -- you feel the despondency and desperation in Sangala, I especially felt this when the last chopper left and the people rushed through the gates. Pacing was good without any moments of over indulgence and with nicely choreographed action scenes.

One goof that viewers can look out for is during the chopper attack on Bauer, Ben and the children. They ran for the tree line with the chopper in hot pursuit and firing at them, as they hit the ground for cover you can see a camera man filming and a photographer taking shots on the far left of the screen. This must either have been overlooked during the editing or perhaps they did not have a better take of the scene.

The new President looks like a promising personality too (although I did not agree with the choice of the actor/image, especially the hair). I really liked David Palmer and I hope we will see another engaging President in Season 7.

This is a great start and I definitely can't wait till Season 7 airs.
