Thriller & Mystery > Sutherland, Kiefer Thriller & Mystery

Events occur in real time

Advantages: The whole thing is pure brilliance
Disadvantages: Too long a wait between boxset releases

...welcoming into the world of 24 was slightly by fluke, on my way to work i had heard radio djs rave about this new series, similar to what i heard about Heroes a few years later. They were saying this guy Jack Bauer played by Kiefer Sutherland, was a bit of a legend and they couldnt stop going on about it. Clearly when something impresses you so much to broadcast it on air, it requires checking out at least. But as my main concern at that time was ...
...to detail the plot with 24 as progression is made throughout the day and the finale may have little or no bearing on what occurs at the start but i will endeavour to bring the idea over here to give you a taste of what is happening. Word arrives into the counter terrorist unit (CTU) based in LA at midnight that there will be an assassination attempt today on black presidential candidate David Palmer. Director Jack Bauer is called at his home, that ...

Review of 24 - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Another long day at work for Jack

Advantages: Jacks back
Disadvantages: None i can think of

...on the first season of 24 then you will fully understand the love i have for this show and its characters. Love is a strong word but i'll use it anyway! Another £50 given over to the nice people at HMV and season 2 was purchased. After the experience i had with season 1, i thought it best to try and miss the episodes on TV and wait for the dvd to come out so i could watch 4/5 episodes in a row if i wanted to. It was hard work as my buddies were watching ...
...managed to stay clear of 24 chats! This season in my opinion was better than the first which was hard to do but the writers, cast and directors did an amazing job in keeping people on the edge of their seat. PLOT - As mentioned in my season 1 review, its quite tricky to give you a definitive plot for the whole days events due to the multiple subplots and continued progression of the stories throughout the day, however i will give you a run down ...

Review of 24 - Series 2 - Complete (DVD)

Another brilliant instalment in the 24 franchise

Advantages: Some shocking plot twists and turns
Disadvantages: Doesnt quite hit the heights of previous seasons

...what to expect from a 24 series, although this one for me missed something. maybe i need to go and watch it again, shame lol!! PLOT - As with my other 24 reviews i will attempt to give you some detail of the start plot but not too much then onwards as what you end up with after 24 episodes is usually something different from what you started with!! Day 4 is set 18 months after the end of day 3, this means we have known Jack for 6 years now. We ...
...behind the scenes look at 24 the game which settles itself in nicely between day 2 and 3. Again most episodes directed by trusty Jon Cassar who has had a hand in all previous seasons OVERALL - I think personally, it took me a while to accomodate to the new characters and new layout of CTU. The viewer will have to learn to get to know a number of new personel within the department and the lack of leadership from new president Keeler keeps the government ...

Review of Phone Booth (DVD)

Previously on 24

Advantages: One of the best seasons of the series. be prepared to be shocked
Disadvantages: Other priorities in life with become secondary while watching

...not anything to do with 24 don' worry, therefore i had seen nearly half of the series and then had to wait for the dvd release to continue watching. Only once have i done this, never again. Wait for the dvd, its worth it. Anyway, this season is one of my favourites as it doesnt hold back on the storylines and shock factor plus provides probably the best ending so far in the 24 series. MAIN PLOT - Feel free to read the plot here but as with my previous ...
...and every one of the 24 seasons. Both Gregory Itzin and Jean Smart were nominated for an emmy for outstanding supporting actor and actress and had regularly played alongside each other in various stage performances. 24 LAYOUT - A lot of the filming of this season is between CTU and Logans presidential retreat, built especially for the character. The split screen is still very much in force which is good to see. As with the other seasons, the episodes ...
