After sacrificing everything for his country, Jack Bauer is wanted by the U.S. government and now stands to lose the only thing he has left: his freedom.

DVD REVIEW:
|
I'm not a massive fan of Redemption. I felt that the story lacked a certain something that is central to 24. I felt no connection to characters, and didn't even feel like I was watching Jack.
The DVD itself, however, is very interesting. Whilst there are not interactive, motion menus as there has been in the past (something, I have to admit, I do quite enjoy), there was some great special features hidden away on the disc. First; the extended edition of Redemption. Next, the Season 7 Sneak Peek, which I loved as it was a great build-up to the new season. The other documentaries "Child Soldiers in Africa", and "Making of 24: Redemption" both were very informative and interesting to watch. So, as a DVD, Redemption is good, but the film itself, not fantatic. |
