There's pure adventure, danger, politics, fear, on and on. This is a great episode, from the rescue of Renee to the hostage situation in the White House. We have perpetual distrust of Jack who apparently would need to give everyone a million dollars tax free in order to be thought highly of. In this fictional world, do any of the population know about his one day exploits that have actually prevented the deaths of millions and takeovers by foreign powers? That clown Senator that is prosecuting him had his life saved by Jack but he is the Javert to Jack. Also, there are so many egos around that have to be sated, it's a wonder anything productive gets done. I have a new dislike. The President's daughter is an ingrate and so full of herself I can hardly stand to listen to her.

The Most Spectacular Episode Of 24 Ever!!!!
jigsaw-9125 December 2010
Warning: Spoilers
This episode is the best episode of the season yet and easily the most fashionable and spectacular installment of the show ever!. The writers have done an impressive job with this one.
Jack is pulled away from his arrest by Bill Buchanan when everyone discover that The White House is the target of Juma. They try to put safe The President and her daughter Olivia. But it's late. Juma has already enter in The White House by storm, killing the most of the secret service and keeping the help in the outside doors.
The action is at its best. It's truly amazing done and spectacular. Much better than a high budget movie.
Kiefer Sutherland performance in the action sequences is incredible again and he is so well followed by James Morrison (it's nice to see Buchanan in action) and by Cherry Jones (who gives the viewers her best performance as The President in the dramatic end of this episode). This episode is reigned by the action and the tension. The drama is not so present, but when it appears it's so effective.
And the ending leaves us nervous and extremely desperate to know how his attack will end, due to the writers don't resolve the attack in this episode. The conclusion will be on the next.
Juma is a truly villain of 24 and his blackmail to The President at the end of the installment is one of the most sinister threats in a long time.
I can't wait!. Oh my god!. What a terrific episode!.
10/10.
AN IMPORTANTE NOTE AT November 2, 2013:
This episode is excellent and is probably one of the best and most explosive that 24 has ever had. But there is a problem. This episode had a weighed mark (8,8 or 8,7 if I don't fail to remember it) but when I made my comeback here, I found myself into the madness and anger when I saw that this one had a SO UNDERRATED AND UNAPPRECIATED AMOUNT OF MARKS OF 1, WHICH MAKE IT BEGIN TO FALL IN RATING, LIKE OTHER HIGHLIGHTS EPISODES OF THE WHOLE SHOW!!! WTF???
I understand that some people could not love or like this show. I understand it and all my respect to that people. But when I saw that this thing on every masterful episode of the show (S1 - 12 & 24, S2 - 15 & 24, S3 - 18, S4 - 24, S5 - 1-12-24, S6 - 4...) I realized that some group of people or someone with several accounts is making bad and injury to the ratings of this show. I'm not going to believe that episodes that are considered the best of the best and at this time in 2013 were sill being loved to all the viewers are now at so low points even in comparison with other transitional or even weaker ones that have their mark.
Please, a note in a movie or episode or anything could guide people to watch it or not or even to voting it positively or negatively. But, please, don't manipulate people and not to vote 1 just to see a legendary episode fallen.
The only thing you will make is to force people not to trust in web pages like this and to stop having it in consideration to vote a show. And this could be so sad...

"Top notch" is too low to describe this one...

Warning: Spoilers
Juma is officially in the united states and he has a plan of revenge. Dabaku is killed silently by a hired assassin of Juma who also has Dabaku's own son apart of his team of men trying to break into the white house. Jack is informed by this by Tony and intimidates a man in line with Juma who works at the white house. Jack tells Renee and she tells Moss. Renee acts by herself and infiltrates Juma and his men's hideout on the docks but fails to stop them. President Taylor convinces the senator to let Jack off the case and out of the court the following morning.
Quite a nice hour. It's story structure worked as did it's suspense.
The acting couldn't have been more superior. Sutherland is extreme to boiling points and Kurtwood Smith does a fantastic job in his small role.
The action scenes are well done and work effectively.
The overall balance is just about right.
Greta hour.
8/10.
