Family Reunion

[claudio_carvalho · 9/10 · 27 October 2007]

On the day of the California Presidential Primary, between 11:00 AM and 12:00 AM, Kevin leads Jack through Placerita Canyon Road to Gaine's hideout. Teri and Kim hide the body of Eli. Meanwhile Alberta Green squeezes Tony and Nina trying to get information about Jack, promising to send them to jail. David Palmer contacts Dr. George Farrigano and the arrogant and unethical man hangs up the phone. David goes with his adviser to Farrigano's office and finds that it had just exploded due to a gas leakage. Jack finds Teri and Kim, calls Green asking for backup and Rick helps him in a shootout against Gaines and his men.

In the twelfth episode of "24", Jack finally meets his family. The loyalty of Nina to Jack Bauer is still impressive and Tony resisted the time enough to permit Jack to discover the hideout. David Palmer proves that is a man of honor in spite of being a politician. It is amazing the relationship of the agents in the CTU in a rotten environment of treachery and envy. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "11:00"

Shoot'em up!

[MaxBorg89 · 9/10 · 18 December 2007]

"Hello Alan. Or is it Kevin?" After discovering Ted Cofell was meeting the man who posed as Alan York and contributed to Teri's abduction, Jack neutralizes him and forces him to drive to the compound where Kim and her mother are being held captive. As this occurs, Tony and Nina have to make sure Alberta Green doesn't interfere with the operation, and in downtown L. A. an all too convenient fire makes David Palmer question his associates' ethics.

Following the suspenseful interrogation scene in the previous episode, most shows would find it hard to come up with a worthy replacement. Not 24, which features yet another chilling assessment coming from Jack's mouth, this time aimed at the villainous Richard Burgi: "If anything goes wrong, everything around the car dies - starting with you!". Sutherland, now as comfortable in Bauer's shoes as in his own, gives the line that extra dramatic punch which sets the series apart from the usual B-movie rubbish. Also notable is Haysbert, his role venturing into murkier territories as the script's study of American politics gets to the dirtier aspects.

The real talking point, however, is the long awaited climactic shootout. Exactly who it involves and what happens, I will not tell. What really matters here is, for once, style rather than content, and for a good reason: not since the bank robbery at the center of Michael Mann's Heat has gun-play looked so real. Never before has it been this gripping. A startling achievement, and we're only halfway through the season.

Plenty of Action; Halfway There

[Hitchcoc · 10/10 · 2 October 2018]

It's just about Noon and Jack has made his way into the compound where Teri and Kim are. They have managed to stave off the bad guys but are feeling like this may be it. This is a high intensity episode with non-stop action. Alberta has it in her head that Jack is solely responsible everything but manages to put things aside for a moment. In the other plot, Palmer realizes that the inept psychiatrist who is giving up doctor/client privilege is in danger. It is the group supporting Palmer that is behind all this and our Senator finds that he is at the center of some really bad stuff.

Second ep by Howard Gordon, second 9/10

[nicofreezer · 9/10 · 28 August 2022]

Episode 12 of " 24" first Season is very solid hour of TV, with everything you want to see from the show.

The mid Season finale saw Jack reunited and escape with his family in a dramatic way. This is the second episode that deserve a 9/10.

After every episodes i go and check some facts and review about it, and i realise that the two best episode in the show, are both written by Howard Gordon ( a former writter for the X files ) episode 6 and 12, both made me a fan of "24".

That is just to show you how amazing the writters on the X files were, because Howard Gordon was far from beeing the best, and still he can elevate "24" every time he wrote an episode.

I just saw he wrote 57 for the show, so yeah "24" will be a great watch.
