Movie Reviews of 24: Season Five
Movie Review: The most arresting episode of the whole saga!
Summary: 5 Stars
This entry is compellingly absorbing and dynamic. Since the initial chapter in which we witness the bloody massacre that will involve the coward assassination of the President Palmer and at the same time, will make to collapse the marriage between Michelle Dressler and Tony Almeida.
A web of terrorists led by high governmental spheres has stolen 19 canisters that contain nervous gas, preserved and buried, residues of previous conflicts.
Along the series, we will watch three brutal threats when the terrorists decide to release its lethal container. And every mission with this admirable rhythm and high doses of tension will lead us to hair raising episodes all the way through.
All the cast was impeccable but it would be worth to remark the impressive performance of Peter Weller as Henderson, The wife of The President Logan, Chloe O' Brian, Bill Buchanan, Aaron Pierce and obviously the multiple facets of his protagonist jack Bauer who will have to face with multiple issues and complex decision take.
Absorbing, engaging and exciting from start to finish.
Movie Review: Jack is Back
Summary: 5 Stars
18 months have passed since Jack Bauer faked his own death in order to avoid being killed by someone within the government. He goes by a fake name and is starting to think he may get a chance at a normal life. However, someone is targeting the people who helped Jack disappear, for reasons involving an Anti-Terrorism treaty with Russia, which President Charles Logan believes will be the defining moment of his presidency. Jack returns to LA to uncover the plot behind it all and to bring those responsible to justice.
This is personally my season. My most favorite seasons to least favorite are as follows: [5,2,1,4,6,3]. This is the one season so far where all twenty four hours bring the bacon home. The acting is superb from all characters, the plot is suspenseful, addictive, and unpredictible, and Jack Bauer inspires me with his determination, courage, fortitude, and sense of justice. A lot of season four characters return to help Jack, or to stop Jack. Guest Appearence by Sean Astin.
By television standards, this is the best show to watch. By 24 standards, this is the best season yet.
Movie Review: Manic. Taut. Exhausting. Addictive.
Summary: 5 Stars
I miss President Palmer but President Logan is certainly the guy we love to hate. A brilliant acting job portraying such an insipid weasel.
Jean Smart is a brilliant mess in Season Five as our hearts are wrung from us for the tormented First Lady.
I am going to count Chloe O'Brien as a dependant on my tax return - she is like one of the family. Smart, tactless, sincere, and just-in-time. Besides, she is the only one who ALWAYS believes Jack.
William Devoe deserves an award for his portrayal of Secretary of Defense Heller. While no Bill Cohen, he is an earnest patriot who (usually) comes down on the right side.
I hope Michael Novak isn't Clinton's chief of staff - he is a pragmatic insider who loves being the consummate political operative.
This is an ensemble cast working as few other casts have in television history. Always at risk, never a pause, cascading crises force them to somehow work together to save the country.
Season Five is an award-winning season with a now-legendary cast - such as it is after some thinning.
Movie Review: Top notch television
Summary: 5 Stars
I have watched every season of 24 and I must say, this last installment was very good indeed. The writing was very tight, the twists and turns very appropriate and there was little or no filler, just lots of well thought out action, tension and drama. I particularly liked the underlying political conspiracy theme: a very contemporary angle to the story. Also interesting the usual power struggles between CTU and the various players from the other agencies. Keither Sutherland did an outstanding job as usual as Jack Bauer, as if had been born just to play this role. And my second favorite was the actress that plays Chloe. In fact she carries a lot of the season, providing some very amusing moments with her quirky character.
Overall 24, with its one hour per episode formula, manages to still provide nail biting action and drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. The show has not deteriorated in quality, as many shows do as they progress through the years, in fact this season feels as fresh as when 24 was first aired. Fabulously entertaining top notch television.
Movie Review: The Best So Far
Summary: 5 Stars
An exceptional series, 24 Season Five brings to the screen the ongoing adventures of former CTU agent Jack Bauer.
The setting is Los Angeles 18 months after the nuclear plant meltdown incident, and Jack Bauer is trying to get to the bottom of what appears to be an attempt to frame him for the deaths of people he considers to be his friends. As is the case with this extraordinary series though, there is much more than meets than eye...
Kiefer Sutherland, James Morrison, and the rest of the cast, have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are outstanding to say the least! All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is simply AMAZING)! Very well written and very well presented, it combines drama, action, and adventure, and is without a doubt guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment.
The setting, the plot (and sub-plots), the dialogues and the music are all wonderful!
In short, 24 is a series definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your DVD collection! KEEP'EM COMING!!!
