DVD Review: 24: Redemption - Page 2

Redemption is loaded with extras. Disc one contains the broadcast version of Redemption which runs 87 minutes. Over on disc two is the extended version of the movie running 102 minutes featuring commentary by the producers and actor Kiefer Sutherland, who talk about the shooting process, what it was like to be in Africa, and provide little tidbits about the film and the upcoming season.

24: Season Six in Four Minutes” shows the highlights of the past season and is a nice refresher if it’s been awhile since you’ve seen the show. “The Exclusive First Look at Season 7" whets the appetite with the 17 minutes of the upcoming season, making me wish January was here already. “The Making of 24: Redemption” shows what it took to make the movie and details the differences shooting in South Africa versus the Los Angeles.

“Blood Never Dry” is a short documentary narrated by Kiefer Sutherland which depicts the tragedy of young boys stolen by African warlords and generals to be trained for their armies to become child soldiers. The documentary talks about the horrors these boys go through, including their families being killed in front of them, being stolen right out of their homes, and how brainwashing and drugs are a part of turning them into soldiers. It’s an eye-opening documentary and is heart breaking to boot.

All I can say for 24: Redemption is welcome back, Jack. You’ve been missed!
