HOPE HAS A FIGHTING CHANCE.
As Americaās first female president (Cherry Jones) is about to be sworn in, former government agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) is forced out of hiding to fight murderous rebels in Africa.Ā The TV movie that preceded the seventh season ofĀ 24Ā is a standard-issue thriller that cleverly sets up events (in real time, of course) for the future but also to a great degree stands on its own. Jon Voight doesnāt have much to do (except being established as the showās next baddie), but the Washington intrigue is tense and the African action (where Jack saves children from ending up as soldiers) has its explosive moments.
2008-U.S. Made for TV. 85 min. Color. Directed byĀ Jon Cassar. Cast: Kiefer Sutherland (Jack Bauer), Jon Voight (Jonas Hodges), Cherry Jones (Allison Taylor), Robert Carlyle, Powers Boothe, Gil Bellows… Peter MacNicol, Tony Todd.
