This is an excellent episode filled with almost nothing but tension as it picks up from the end last week and keeps the heat on most of the way. Well, I guess "Jack Bauer" (Kiefer Sutherland) had turned into "Dirty Harry"... Full review

For Fox's 24 , this season's creative uptick stems from a simpler story that's easier to follow and motivations - so far, money and power - that are easier to understand.
In place of the hysterics and overdone family histrionics of the last go-round, we have a stripped-down plot that frees Jack (the reliably terrific Kiefer Sutherland) from back-story build-up and returns the show to its roots.

Redemption is a perfect construct to allow everyone to catch up with the characters and the action....Robert Carlyle gives a stunning performance as Benton who is written with a hero gene similar to Jack's.....the story is a good stand alone adventure..... ... Full Review

This may not be an adventure you return to often (such is the case with cliffhanger-driven stories), but Redemption is gripping and enjoyable enough the first time through.
As with past seasons, 24: Redemption has been presented in its original 1.78:1 widescreen aspect ratio and looks fantastic.
