john huston ' s key largo is a film that i was yet to hear of . fortunately i gained the opportunity to see this film , and i must say it was great . the overall concept of the film is very clever when you think about it , even if the events are by accident . what follows is a hotel hold - up , in which a man named rocco plans to make a big money deal ; yet needs to stay out the way of the law . what surprised me most about this film is the great use of film noir cinematography that could easily rival the likes of double indemnity . in bringing in choices such as low - key lighting which resembles that of german expressionism ; alongside more…

key largo may not be the most memorable of the humphrey bogart and lauren bacall vehicles , but it sure does pack a punch . what the film lacks in sexual chemistry between bogart and bacall , it makes up in verbal dispute with edward g . robinson as the antagonist playing off against bogart in a game of cat and mouse .
unlike much of hollywood film noir , key largo ( 1948 ) features neither a hard - boiled detective nor an urban setting . there isn’t even a femme fatale . nonetheless , it does have a gangster as its central villain , johnny rocco ( edward g . robinson ) , and emphasizes post - world war ii cynicism . rocco has traveled to key largo as a stop on his way back to the continental u . s . after years of exile in cuba . he is pitted against army veteran frank mccloud ( humphrey bogart ) , who begins the film as a drifter , lacking purpose beyond meeting the father of george temple , a slain soldier formerly under his command .
if shooting is to occur on private property only , a permit is not required although all production companies are requested to notify the florida keys & key west film office regarding their intentions , whether on private or public property .
made right on the heels of the treasure of sierra madre , huston’s noirish gangster movie key largo was another great film in this legendary collaboration . co - starring bogie’s real - life wife , lauren bacall , the movie was adapted from maxwell anderson’s broadway play and featured bogart as frank mccloud , an embittered world war ii veteran who travels to key west , florida to pay a visit to a dead war buddy’s widow ( bacall ) , only to be pulled into a situation where a fading mobster ( edward g . robinson ) tries to take over a rundown hotel owned by the widow’s father - in - law ( lionel barrymore ) . though resistant at first , frank finally decides to get involved when three innocents are murdered . a richly textured film noir , the film tackled themes of morality and the unwillingness to take action in the face of great evil , making key largo bogie and huston’s most impressionable movie .
a near miss of a film noir saved by its superb bad guy , just slips in as a classic .

the medals on mr . temple ' s desk that his son earned that frank mccloud momentarily holds are a silver star ( held near the beginning of the film ) and a purple heart ( held near the end of the film ) .
it is definitely a crime picture filled with gangsters , including edward g . robinson’s best take on a wiseguy in the part of johnny rocco , but with its coherent plotting and lack of sexual innuendo between bogie and a surprisingly softer bacall , it sometimes flies under the radar with fans looking for the quintessential post - war noirs . this is partly because key largo finds a way , in spite of its hallmark genre era patented cynicism , to be the ultimate cinematic affirmation of the worldview that sprang up for the greatest generation following the second world war . in many ways , key largo is the definitive post - war film .

in this context , key largo is a borderland , an island acting as a bridge for escape from or return to mainstream america . in noir anxiety , kelly oliver and benigno trigo argue that the free - floating anxiety of noir reflects a more primal angst related to borders and boundaries . we want to be sure of our footing , to know who and where we are . but labels are arbitrary , identities and cultures are fluid and changing , and war escalates worry over the present and future of a nation . film noir reflects such concerns , more often than not challenging the viewer’s sense of ease and security . duplicity is everywhere . from personal integrity to race , class , and nation , film noir emphasizes a world of ambiguity . and this makes the island setting of key largo ideal for its tensions and central conflict .

surprisingly it’s neither humphrey bogart nor lauren bacall who steal the show in john huston’s thriller , it’s edward g . robinson who once again takes the role of the villain and dominates the film with his cruelty , indifference and stony heart . for me that was key largo ’s biggest surprise , when you realize that this is going to be another movie featuring the legendary couple of bogart and bacall you normally expect to see them at the center of film’s attention creating another strong romance , but here john huston completely abandons that cliche and quite bravely puts both characters in the…

in traditional noir , this would be the end of the hero . even in terms of pure melodrama , key largo is loosely based on a 1939 maxwell anderson play set during the spanish civil war in which the protagonist dies fighting off mexican bandits . when updated for the post - war era , it is just as easy to see a transition from a hopeful sunrise - basking nora to that fog - drenched boat floating at sea with a dead , if triumphant , frank mccloud at the helm . instead , frank is very much alive , piloting the santana ( the name of bogart’s real - life boat ) all the way back to key largo and nora’s open arms .
yet , as great as their two collaborations with howard hawks are , to have and have not ( 1944 ) and the big sleep ( 1946 ) , i found myself again drawn to their fourth , final , and most underrated shared project , john huston’s key largo ( 1948 ) . indeed , while the movie is fondly remembered as a bogie and bacall sizzler in the world of booze , broads , and bullets , it is the one “noir” film that they did which is not truly noir .

this is surprisingly staid for a huston film . still , the top - notch cast punches it across , and the swirling storm raging outside the hotel provides an interesting backdrop .

some residents of key largo are being allowed back in tuesday morning , but the florida keys are still largely without power , water , medical service and cell service . most keys residents are anxiously waiting to hear when they can return home , and others who stayed despite mandatory evacuations remain stranded there . more than 80 percent of customers in the keys are currently are without power .
another masterpiece from john huston , the tension rarely lets up in this fantastic film . with great performances from the whole cast and an ending that packs a punch on noir goodness .
what a cool film , i need to see this ! love the idea of the turmoil trapped inside as well as outside . great review too , really informative and nice trivia 🙂
however , if we are being really pedantic then the line “here’s looking at you kid” was taken from another humphrey bogart film “casablanca” and wasn’t even spoken to lauren bacall at all .
( the film was adapted from a play by maxwell anderson , and certain theatrical conventions– the sense of an act - break , the semi - proscenium blocking of some of the scenes– remain ) where young widow nora temple ( lauren bacall ) , having fallen asleep during the film’s centerpiece hurricane near frank mccloud ( humphrey bogart ) , seated watchfully next to her on the floor of the lobby of the largo hotel , wakes , raises her head , and looks up into his eyes , and he looks back at her . that’s all . in a moment , the gangster dramatics of the film will resume , as johnny rocco ( edward g . robinson ) and his men plot how they will get themselves and their counterfeiting money to cuba now that the hurricane has passed , but for now we can enjoy simply being privy to a key to bogart’s success : the fact that hollywood’s most legendary tough guy knew the absolute importance of tenderness .
wenn man von ikonischen regisseur / schauspieler–duos spricht , habe ich oft das gefühl , dass das duo john huston und humphrey bogart gerne übersehen wird . die beiden waren vielleicht nur ein halbes dutzend filme verantwortlich , aber aus ihrer kollaboration sind doch einige klassiker entstanden . einer davon ist „key largo . “ der während eines hurrikan in florida spielende film ( natürlich in den kühlen studios von warner brothers gedreht ) ist eine als gangster film getarnte charakterstudie , die in der form eines kammerspiels abläuft . zu lauren bacall und humphrey bogart muss nicht mehr viel gesagt werden . frau bacall damals 24 , verkörpert perfekt eine selbstbewusste frau , deren lebenserfahrung sich in ihrer gestik , mimik und stimme widerspiegelt .

humphrey bogart plays frank mccloud , a world war ii veteran who visits a shoddy , run - down hotel in key largo , florida , that has been taken over by a notorious gangster named johnny rocco ( edward g robinson ) . rocco is waiting at the hotel to conduct business , and awaits the first chance to flee to cuba where he ' d been exiled by the feds .

based on a 1939 broadway play by maxwell anderson , the renowned playwright , who succeeded in journalism , writing , and poetry among an array of other subjects , key largo proved to be one of those stage productions that displayed his virtuosity as a dramatist . the play showcased his extensive use of blank verse , which along with his skillful technique helped it’s profitable run at the ethel barrymore theatre .
and so hollywood , when they made a musical , took the safe route of making a film version of a broadway musical that had already proven successful , rather than do what they ' d done in the ' 30s and ' 40s , and that is make original film musicals like

increasingly , an unavoidable misanthropy and cynicism about the post - industrialized world had seized american society . whether it was in the automations of an insurance office or at a newfangled supermarket , the modern world gis came home to in billy wilder’s double indemnity ( 1944 ) was a perpetually rain - sodden dystopia of soul crushing efficiency . it would eventually become so unbearable that we would all be better off if a nuke went off , or as at least prescribed by the mickey spillane - based kiss me deadly ( 1955 ) . but key largo had none of that . rather than a movie centered on the pointlessness of it all , key largo found in the coolest anti - heroes of noir a way to articulate without a trace of irony the overwhelming sentiments that a generation would ultimately view as hard - won after the depression and world war ii .

wonderful post - wwii gangster drama with humphrey bogart and lauren bacall , both hampered by some speechy dialogue , so that it is really edward g . robinson ' s film as the ambitious ex mobster johnny rocco come back to reclaim his empire like a napolean returning from exile . the film nicely builds up characters and tension in classic noir style , for an impressive little showdown and a pleasantly sappy ending .
this is bogart ' s film , however , and his character will determine how we feel at film ' s end . the possibility of an idyllic life may be long gone ( and was always a myth , even if the film seems to argue otherwise via the nostalgic portrayal of the seminoles ) , but the battle for decency and hope for the future is not . so , frank agrees to set sail with rocco and his thugs and get them safely back to cuba with their loot . it is on the ocean , an even more liminal space , that frank will decide where he belongs , and why .

’s final take on heroism : if one has to become evil to deal with evil , can one come back to the light ? we’re led to believe so , as frank turns the boat north - north - west , back toward boot key harbor . we know so , as nora , receiving the call that the coast guard has forwarded to the largo hotel on frank’s behalf , opens the storm shutters and sunlight floods the screen .
played to less - than - enthusiastic reviews : the film , about a wrongly accused , escaped con [ bogart ] who has plastic surgery in order to elude recapture , is fascinating and nightmarish ; we follow bogart’s character up and down the impossible hills of san francisco via first - person point - of - view until it’s revealed midway through the film that the surgery has “given” him bogart’s face . not having bogart actually present on - screen for half the film’s running time , as well as the script’s weak ending [ bogart finds the real killer , but she commits suicide before he can bring her to the police ] , stifled
great and very informative post on a fantastic film . if i had to encapsulate kl for a new viewer , it would go something like “johnny rocco chews the scenery , storm chews hotel . storm wins . ”

in this version three times over the space of as many years . it does not pal for me . i was impressed at the first viewing and i remain convinced by the film ' s integrity after the latest showing . unlike another reviewer , i find both bacall and bogart fulfil their roles well . however , i would have to agree that claire trevor ' s performance is top grade . she is masterful in her portrayal of emotion through facial expression and body posture . she gives a similarly fine performance in a far lesser production

it is a hollywood ending if there ever was one , but not necessarily for the same reasons as most changes . there are many great post - war films in the 1940s that celebrate american life , such as the 1946 frank capra effort it’s a wonderful life ( which also featured barrymore as the antithesis of james temple ) . there are also many classics that mourn the sacrifice of those who went to war and those they left behind , as seen with the best years of our lives ( 1946 ) . but few expressed with more clarity beyond the past and present , and looked into the future of how america must soldier on after the war that was supposed to end wars . there is a cynicism inherent with 1940s crime / noir pictures running throughout key largo . after all that death how could the johnny roccos of the world still exist ? but for better or worse , key largo answers how america should and will be ready for them in the future .
in name only : all that the film has in common with the play it is supposedly based on is there being a couple of fugitive seminoles falsely blamed for a murder . the characters of the play have completely different names and backstories . the play does not feature a gangster taking people hostage , and is not set during a hurricane or even in a hotel , though its spanish civil war background was out of date by the time the film was produced .

while john huston was beginning to succumb to the difficulties that ensued during production , lauren bacall documented key largo as one of her happiest movie experiences . in the months prior to filming , bacall’s career was struggling to follow the path of triumph and eminence that she had initially anticipated after the success of her first two vehicles with humphrey bogart . to help resurrect her floundering stature , bacall was yearning to work with bogart’s frequent director , john huston , who was known for his masterful camera approach and inventiveness .
when john huston didn ' t have a conclusive ending to his script , howard hawks gave him the shootout on a boat that finishes the film , as he had been unable to include it in to have and have not ( 1944 ) .

24 : redemption takes place almost four years after the sixth season and two months before the seventh season in real time between 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm ( sangala time zone ) on inauguration day in the united states .

the main setting is sangala , a fictional african country , where jack bauer ( kiefer sutherland ) tries to find peace with himself , and works as a missionary with carl benton ( robert carlyle ) , who built the okavango school to aid war orphans .

bauer is served a subpoena to appear before the united states senate regarding human rights violations , but refuses to go , and a shadow organization among the united states government aids general juma ( tony todd ) and his militia in a coup d'état .

the working title was 24 : exile .

the concept of the film started since the 2007 – 2008 writers guild of america strike , which delayed the seventh season for a year thus leaving a gap in the series during 2008 .

redemption was originally called 24 : exile . the title was changed several weeks before the episode ' s airing .
the subtitle
redemption
does not appear anywhere except in promotional material . apart from the prologue , redemption can be considered a standalone episode .
24 : redemption amounted to : a sweaty , very extended and occasionally rather soupy trailer for the new series that begins in january .

the groundbreaking original 24 , which starred kiefer sutherland as ctu agent jack bauer , ran for eight seasons from 2001 to 2010 , as well as feature - length tv movie in 2008 , 24 : redemption .
24 : redemption featured a silent clock at the end , and also marks the first time it was used in back - to - back episodes .
back when the producers of the 24 television movie altered its title from 24 : exile to 24 : redemption , you couldn’t help but wonder as to whether they had a double meaning in mind . redemption for jack bauer – again – is the obvious thrust of proceedings , but equally , redemption for the piss - poor sixth season of the show , that collapsed under the weight of half - baked characters and tepid twists , would do no harm either .
while you’re here , we’ve also got a few 24 : redemption images down there in the bottom right , that you can enlarge by clicking on the thumbnails .
' 24 : redemption ' is a breath of fresh air , but even though it is thrilling , ' 24 ' is best suited to being a tv series in order to bring the suspense and tension that we all love .
the television movie 24 : redemption was filmed in between this episode and the next ( 7 . 13 day 7 : 8 : 00pm - 9 : 00pm ) .
a slightly random 100 minute preview of season 7 of 24 , 24 : redemption makes for a very fragmented viewing experience . heralded as almost a 24 movie , redemption doesn ' t really do anything to set itself away from being just a long episode of 24 . now 24 is definitely in my top 3 favorite tv shows ever . i have seen every episode , of every season , ever . obviously i had to see this movie . having seen all the previous seasons , i knew what was going on . if you weren ' t a faithful 24 fan , you would be completely lost while watching this .

in nearly every respect ,
24 : redemption
makes perfect sense , a brilliant idea that will extend the life of an important franchise even as it pumps new vigor into the fox series .

kiefer previously starred in the eighteenth season of the simpsons ( 2007 ) along with 24 co - star mary lynn rajskub in a parody called “ 24 minutes “ .
on the dvd version , this episode has proper end credits . the music used is the orchestral version of the 24 theme , originally recorded for 24 : the game .
a well made tv film following on from the events of season 7 of 24 .
i just hope it will be set in la , when the original 24 returns .
however , spanning the gap between season six and january’s season seven is the eagerly - awaited two hour television movie , 24 : redemption , which is set to be screened in a few weeks’ time . the movie follows jack to africa , and we’re guessing that his hunt for redemption forms part of the plot . robert carlyle is co - starring .
24 : redemption is a television film based on the series 24 . it first aired on november 23 , 2008 , on fox in the united states , and was released to dvd on november 25 . the film was written by executive producer howard gordon and was directed by jon cassar . 24 : redemption takes place almost four years after the sixth season and two months before the seventh season in real time between 3 : 00 pm and 5 : 00 pm ( sangala time zone ) on inauguration day in the united states .
redemption is at its best when it focuses on action , not the after - action reports , and its best is awfully good .
: 1 - 3 , 4 - 6 , and redemption ' til the end each make a loosely connected story through the seasons .
24 : redemption amounted to a sweaty , very extended and occasionally rather soupy trailer for the new series that begins in january . the messy and stale - seeming series six was universally panned , so perhaps the extended break will allow the once essential 24 to refresh itself and regenerate… bring it on .
24 : redemption is set 44 months after the events of day 6 and day 6 debrief on inauguration day in the united states , beginning at 3 : 00pm gmt ( 10 : 00am est ) and ending two hours later at 5 : 00pm gmt ( 12 : 00pm est ) . redemption takes place approximately twelve and a half years after day 1 .
of course , no new day of 24 is complete without fans clamoring for an appearance by super - hacker chloe , played by franchise vet mary lynn rajskub ( who returned for 24 : live another day ) . but that is one encore the 24 faithful won’t get .
this is the last episode which involved 24 co - creator robert cochran as executive producer .
fox has cancelled 24 : legacy after just one season , according to the hollywood reporter .
redemption — or at least a whiff of it — was in the air on tuesday when nominations for the 89th academy awards were announced .
so far only two actors have received this billing , dennis haysbert in season 4 and 5 and jon voight in 24 : redemption and season 7 . special guest appearance is always the final credit of the cast before the production credits .
insistent terminology : a meta example . among a lot fans , 24 does not have seasons , it has days . it not universal though , as this very page can attest . there are also exemptions , like the game and redemption .
all there in the manual : fox ' s 24 website , everything you need to know .
wiki 24 has 90 images related to day 7 : 7 : 00pm - 8 : 00pm .
nonetheless , 24 : redemption is a solid bridge between two seasons , but one that gives you few clues as to whether past problems have been fixed . the new administration in the white house looks interesting , and there are some intriguing new characters . but redemption is all about jack , and on the small screen at least , after all these years nobody does what he does better .
according to the dvd commentary , redemption is set in the winter , most likely due to the fact that inauguration day takes place on january 20 .
if you can stand another 24 hours of this , you are very welcome to it .
season 4 is the only season of 24 in which all of the main characters share scenes together .

the true purpose of redemption seems to be an introduction to the new characters and the situation in sangala - - and that ' s not a bad thing at all . by setting up the new characters , giving us a new president , a villain , and a handful of supporting good guys and bad guys , 24 : season 7 can get right into a story involving it all . 24 : redemption whets our appetite once again for jack bauer ' s personal brand of justice - - bring on day 7 .
however , it doesn’t take long for 24 : redemption to reveal itself as a simple nudge of the narrative , that plays no havoc with the world of 24 , short of putting a few pieces in position that will presumably be re - established at the start of next year . it’s also , and this is something you would never really level at 24 , lacking at times in urgency , with the ticking clock never as prevalent as you’d expect it to be .
the working title was 24 : exile . the concept of the film started since the 2007–2008 writers guild of america strike , which delayed the seventh season for a year thus leaving a gap in the series during 2008 . redemption was somewhat inspired by the rwandan genocide in 1994 . the majority of redemption was filmed on location outside cape town , south africa since it was difficult to mimic an authentic african scenery in america .

ign was among a group of journalists who attended an early screening of 24 : redemption today . airing sunday , november 23rd , the tv - movie marks the return of jack bauer ( kiefer sutherland ) for the first time since 24 ' s sixth season ended , in may 2007 . thanks to the writers ' strike , the seventh season was delayed a full year , until january of 2009 , but redemption serves as a prequel to season 7 , and of course as a way to tide fans over after this unusually long wait .

finally , there ' s no need to squeeze 24 : redemption into your binge diet . it works well as a bridge between seasons 6 and 7 ( as mentioned above , it introduces allison taylor ) , but does little other than put jack in another life - threatening situation , only this time in africa .
the white house set , last seen in season 6 , was used again in redemption . the oval office , the teleconference room , and several corridors , were all seen in the episode .

consider 24 : redemption , which premieres this weekend , a sequel to last year , and a prequel to next year . jack , played by kiefer sutherland , is in africa , hiding out from a bunch of people — including his own government — and working at a charity boys ' school run by an old friend from special forces .
it is worth noting that the extended version , by not counting the sound in the 24 title card , is the only episode of 24 without any of the traditional beeping - clock sound effects ( due to the cut commercial interludes and silent clock at the end ) .
two versions of the film were released to dvd , the original broadcast version and an extended directors cut . the original airing was seen by just over 12 million americans , and received positive reviews , and was praised for showing a more human side to bauer . 24 : redemption was nominated for a golden globe as well as five emmy awards .

redemption was placed the second most viewed fox release on the week it aired , behind house ; redemption drew a total of 12 . 121 million viewers , with a nielsen rating of 7 . 0 , 4 . 0 / 9 among adults aged 18–49 . redemption was the highest - rated scripted program of the night , and was 3rd overall for the 8 : 00 pm to 11 : 00 pm time slot , behind the american music awards and sunday night football . it aired on sky 1 in the uk , and received an average of 405 , 000 viewers , nearly triple the regular amount of viewers for the series .
standout moment : easily the very final scene , as a sobbing jack cradles his dead wife . 24 would never be the same again .
okay , not the best 24 , because it lacks the insanity that makes the show so good . that and a lack of tony . . . le sigh . and i don ' t recall a single ctu mole , which is just heresy when it comes to 24 .
all in all , this is really only for 24 fans . jack is as cool as ever , but the story is only ok .
retired badass : jack , at the beginning of day 8 . of course , this being 24 , he soon gets pulled back in .
in 2017 , fox premiered its reboot 24 : legacy following the super bowl . while the original series starred kiefer sutherland , the new version featured corey hawkins ( straight outta compton , the walking dead ) in the lead role . hawkins played eric carter , a former army ranger who begins to suspect that his team members are being targeted carrying out a mission to assassinate terrorist leader sheik ibrahim bin - khalid six months earlier . the show
marks an on - brand return for a franchise fox has refused to let lie fallow long enough for any real nostalgic yearning to set in ,
thr tv critic daniel fienberg wrote in his review .
kiefer sutherland ' s jack bauer is gone , but even in his absence 24 : legacy sports 24 aesthetics , 24 urgency , 24 illogical internal logic and that reliable 24 tendency to balance five or six plotlines at once — even when two or three of them are downright awful . for better and for worse , 24 : legacy sure feels like 24 .
ultimately , the show didn ' t connect with viewers , and it was canceled in june of that same year .
redemption serves both as a standalone tale - with jack rescuing a batch of children from a vicious rebel militia - and a prequel to the upcoming day seven , with the introduction of jon voight ' s jonas hodges .

‘we’ve always done better when we’ve been able to air all 24 episodes continuously , ’ says sutherland , who’s also an executive producer on the show . those who know jack bauer know that he would never take a break mid - crisis . so the makers of 24 tried something else .

yes , it is a long time but it is the only option fox has . the 24 franchise is badly damaged right now . i agree with 24 spoilers that trying to salvage 24 : legacy would be a huge waste of time and money . on the other hand , starting over from scratch right now would appear desperate and admitting failure . also , they would endure a lot of backlash if they replaced the african - american lead . their only option would be to wait until the 20th anniversary of the original 24 and present a special event series with the original cast .
most impressive of all though , 24 : redemption shows real signs of the franchise getting back on its feet , after the juddering , muddled sixth season , that left many wondering if the show had enjoyed its best days . now ? there’s a real thirst for season seven , and a hope that the extended break the show has enjoyed has been put to good use . because nobody , nobody does this kind of edge - of - the - seat tv thriller better than the 24 team . - - jon foster
say whatcha want about 24’s 9th season but 24 has been terrible since kiefer left . even tony was a waste & he hyped up legacy… . for nothing so unless fox & the writers can change kiefer’s mind to return at some point , the so called creative attempts to keep 24 new with a new lead every year or so is just not going to to fly , because it’s just a desperate attempt to keep 24 going just to keep it going . they left the ninth season open ended for a reason , or so we thought . & unless they go in that direction with kiefer’s cooperation , 24 is just going in a desperate direction to make characters on the show including the lead to resemble jack bauer without jack bauer .
redemption didn ' t so much whet my appetite for the show ' s full - time return in january as it did remind me of the many problems i had with it the last time it was on the air .
shot partly on location in south africa , fox’s “24” movie gives jack bauer a new continent across which to righteously kick ass , as well as get his own chops busted in creative ( read : tortured ) ways . “redemption” not only teases the coming season’s new exotic threat but trots out the latest commander - in - chief , played by cherry jones .

“shooting ‘24 : redemption’ in south africa was the highlight of my six years on the show . it was nothing short of exhilarating , ” commented “24” executive producer and emmy award - winning director jon cassar , who contributed photographs to the exhibit . “africa also became a wonderful canvas for the still photography enthusiasts among our crew . every day put us in places and situations that were new and exiting to us , and our cameras clicked constantly . this exhibit chronicles the seven weeks that were spent in capetown and the surrounding regions from moments captured during a hectic shooting schedule to the faces and places that represent not only the making of ‘24’ but the africa of today . ”

redemption is an interesting experiment for 24 - while the movie does follow the real time format ( as jack tells us at the start ,
the following takes place between 3 : 00pm and 5 : 00pm ) , it ' s obviously not part of the long , 24 - hour uninterrupted storyline the series takes place in . there ' s even a prologue that uses ( gasp ! ) a time jump , as we are introduced to some of the militia during the day , and then cut to their rather horrific initiation of a kidnapped boy at night .
october 14 , 2008 – last spring , fox announced that after a nearly two - year hiatus , “24” would return to the airwaves with an unprecedented two - hour television event shot on location in south africa and los angeles entitled “24 : redemption . ” now as the producers ready this epic tale for broadcast , they are unveiling a never - before - seen collection of stunning photographs shot by five of the show’s creative team during the filming overseas . “24 : redemption — captured in africa” is a rare inside look at the making of the show which comprises candid moments between cast and crew , including emmy award - winner star kiefer sutherland ; dramatic stills from the spectacular action sequences ; and vivid photographic captures of the scenic south african locations . the paley center for media in los angeles will host the one - of - a - kind photo exhibit of fine art museum quality archival prints which debuts on november 10 and will remain on public view through january 11 , 2009 .

24 : redemption ,
it is certainly heartwarming to observe one of television ' s consummate tough guys , former ctu agent jack bauer , providing care and mentorship to schoolchildren in the fictional country of sangala , africa . unfortunately for jack bauer , trouble and mayhem always seem to find him , and his noble mission of providing a safe and nurturing environment for the children , is hijacked by insurgents seeking to forcibly recruit child - soldiers for their anti - government insurrection . however , as jack will soon discover , the events in sangala , africa are part of a much deeper conspiracy , which ultimately takes him to washington , d . c . , and requires him to foil a diabolical plot against the new president . this turns out to be the story line that serves as a prelude and bridge to season 7 of
24 .

24 continues to demonstrate a keen awareness of its history and its themes . this has given the show an incredible tonal consistency even when new characters , new settings , and new threats are introduced . even legacy , the first season not to feature jack bauer as the lead protagonist , feels like 24 at least on a tonal and aesthetic level .
like many episodes of 24 , redemption has its fair share of cludgy dialogue and bland scenes ( mainly taking place in d . c . ) , but they ' re well balanced by the well - done action sequences and a few emotional scenes involving jack , allowing kiefer sutherland to show his acting range and let a human side of jack bauer surface . there ' s a handful of characters that we ' re glad we won ' t be seeing on a long - term basis , as they seem confined to redemption and not season 7 . among them are a particularly whiny kid , a un official who ' s made to look like the biggest wuss ever , and an annoying sangala embassy worker .
preparing for the return of 24 next january after a 20 - month break , the network in november will air a two - hour , stand - alone 24 movie . shot partly in south africa , it takes place on inauguration day for the next u . s . president ( cherry jones ) , setting up the show ' s seventh season .
24 explored all of these previously uncharted territories , normalising and popularising ideas before they were seen as acceptable let alone desirable . in many ways , the show is singularly responsible for reshaping the sensibilities of tv executives and audiences around the globe . for this reason alone , 24 is one of the most important television shows since the turn of the century .
fox boss gary newman says the preference is for kiefer sutherland to return as jack bauer in next years 24 revival , and they would build the show around him like usual .
outstanding single - camera picture editing for a drama series edited by scott powell , a . c . e . , 24 season 7 • 7 : 00am – 8 : 00am
it ' s also very cool to see jack in such a different setting - redemption was filmed on location in south africa , and this is a very different element for jack to do his thing in than the los angeles settings we ' ve grown accustomed to for the character . it certainly makes us curious what it would be like to follow the character through something even bigger in scope , such as the long - discussed 24 feature film .
the film was conceived as a result of the 2007–2008 writers guild of america strike , which delayed the seventh season for an entire year ; the producers were exploring ways to get back on the air earlier . ideas included airing webisodes or mobisodes . according to the president of entertainment at fox ,
we were going to be off the air for a while and how do you bridge that gap . we thought about doing something online and after talking with [ executive producer ] howard gordon we decided to do it on air .
the working title for the film was 24 : exile , until the change to 24 : redemption .
the editing process - goes behind the scenes with the editors of the fox television hit , 24 and emphasizes the jobs contributing to the distinctive editorial look and style of the series .
despite this , it seems unlikely that shows like lost and breaking bad would have emerged without the influence of 24 . the show established a precedent for complicated story arcs and high production values as well as a willingness to make bold creative decisions that risked alienating or upsetting the audience . the modern television landscape simply would not be what it is today without 24 .
according to thr , gordon flew back to the u . s . in april and early may in an effort to revive 24 , including an ultimately unsuccessful pitch to save legacy .
that there has never been anything else like 24 might be another factor that accounts for its long - lasting success . no other show has even attempted to replicate the formula that 24 introduced outside of limited and self - contained experiments . there has been no attempt to create copycats that invite further exploration into the storytelling possibilities and boundaries of real - time drama on television .
what are axn india’s expectations from the limited series ? “we expect the show to get new viewers . there are two reasons for this : a ) 24 now is a more recognised brand in india , thanks to the local version . b ) we expect the younger generation of today to tune - in to the show since the 24 franchise launched way back in 2001 when they were too young to consume tv . we are targeting both the 24 loyalists who we believe are in the 25 - 44 yrs tg as well as the 15 - 24 yrs tg who would possibly be watching it for the first time . we expect both males and females to tune in . they will surely want to watch this cult show , ” said mankar .
that was an 8 - yarder from hornibrook , on third and 6 . that play helped give uw a 24 - 10 lead with 12 minutes , 26 seconds remaining in the game .
damn 4 years with no 24 i guess we had to wait 3 years between 8 and lad – and then – lad and legacy . ffs – they really did screw this up .

24 : redemption is a unique and welcome change to 24 ' s usual airing schedule . primarily taking place in the fictional african nation of sangala , we meet up with a soul - searching jack bauer who ' s been traveling the world and avoiding a subpoena to go before a senate subcommittee back in the states . the beginning of the movie features a bit of a time jump , but the majority of it still conforms to 24 ' s real - time format ( we ' re told that the following takes place between 3pm and 5pm ) . the fact that we ' re seeing jack bauer in a setting other than los angeles is a refreshing change of pace , since in a normal season it ' s practically impossible for jack to be anywhere other than the u . s . ( apart from a few side trips into mexico over the years ) .
the result is 24 : redemption , a single two - hour special that works as a sort of ‘what - jack - did - on - his - holidays’ bridge between series six and seven . once again it plays out in real time , cutting between washington dc and a made - up african banana republic called sengala . jack has gone there to help out carl , an old special forces buddy who’s running a school in sengala . he’s played by the scottish actor robert carlyle .
jack is back ! any real 24 fan knows that fact alone is worth 5 stars in itself . i ' m sure you know the score by now : the story picks up sometime over a year after the events of season 6 and follows jack over the course of 2 hrs of saving / ending lives in the african nation of sengala . ok , so this isn ' t a full season of 24 and as such you can ' t approach it with the same level of expectation . as you watch this you ' ll realise just how brief 97 minutes can be : it isn ' t anywhere near long enough to pack in all the twists and turns of a full season but then i never really expected it to . this is for all those 24 fans who find themselves wondering
what happened when jack was undercover with the salazars ?
or
what actually happened in china ?
or
where has nina been for the last year ?
. of course , it doesn ' t actually answer any of those questions but what redemption does offer is an insight into what is going on between seasons so that by the time season 7 comes along you ' ll feel like you have at least a few of the answers to all those questions that you can ' t help but ask when you start a season . most crucially , in my opinion , redemption re - affirms what is so great about 24 . i found that by season 6 i was beginning to forget what i loved about jack ; sure , he ' s a killing machine - but there ' s more complexity to his character than first meets the eye and it ' s this complicated , inner turmoil that makes jack even more of a hero . i had serious worries that jack ' s personal demons would shape him into a colder man than the one we ' ve seen so far but thankfully redemption offers you a chance to see jack as a calmer , softer and ultimately more likable character . this can only bode well for season 7 . i ' d be lying if i said redemption didn ' t have flaws . it ' s definately not a classic in it ' s own right but that ' s not the point and in the grand scheme of 24 - ness this may well prove to be a vital part of a so - far utterly thrilling story . if you love 24 you ' ll love this . if you don ' t love 24 then you won ' t . it ' s as simple as that !
advance review : 24 fans have had a long wait , but this month , on november 23 , jack bauer finally returns to tv , in this two - hour movie . it ' s been a year and a half since 24 ' s been on the air , thanks to the writers ' strike shutting down production last season . that ' s enough time for 24 fans to have forgotten the convoluted , twisting plot of season 6 , which started out with a shocking nuclear blast in valenica , and devolved from there into a bizarre battle involving jack ' s dad phillip , his brother graem , a russian attack and a chinese circuit board . it was a mostly lackluster season , and 24 ' s lengthy hiatus essentially gives the show a clean slate to start from .
but because of all this compression , the usual elements of 24 get squeezed next to one another like plot points in an outline . as in every season - long story , jack will either torture or be tortured . as in every other 24 adventure , there are scheming villains , showdowns with government authority , and a noble sacrifice or two . seen at this speed , though , it ' s like watching 24 on fast - forward . the familiar elements whiz by , and you check , check , check them off — but without lingering on them , few get to resonate .
redemption begins with a brief prologue showing a young boy being kidnapped at night , indoctrinated , and drafted along with other boys into a rebel militia so they could take part in a coup d ' état , which is being funded by a shadow organization led by jonas hodges ( jon voight ) .
