Brought to you by Radio Shack, GM, Chrysler and Panasonic. (Sutherland & Longoria roll up and BAM! 300C)Sutherland is Jack Bauer, working for the secret service. Douglas is this old guy who also works for the secret service, WAY past retirement age, and not nearly as badass as Aaron Pierce from 24.
There's some KGB guys, and a mole, though Jack Bauer should be used to those by now. Bauer doesn't kill more terrorists than Gordon Gekko, which may be a first. Longoria speaks some spanish. Some stuff blows up. Everyone uses those stupid PDA phone things, that look like you're talking into a stack of 3x5 cards. An assassin uses a silencer on a .45, which I'm pretty sure is impossible.
I don't know, 60/100 maybe.
I shouldn't have had all that Guiness before the show :)

that the Guiness made you pretty forgiving of this POS. May a few more and you would have actually been able to enjoy it.I liked Eva, but then again......
I have come to expect nonsensical hypergoof writing from 24, but to pay for a cheap imitation is pretty difficult. This movie is a real looser....I would compare it with 'The Island' and 'The Interpreter'. An inexplicable waste of actors and screen space.
"Silencer" is a misnomer. They're actually called "suppressors." Although they do quiet the sound of a gun they're still louder than hollywood depicts. The suppressor for a .45 is much bigger than hollywood depicts. Picture a cylinder roughly 3" wide by about 12" long. They do work on a .45 because those cartridges go slower than the speed of sound. Also they rob all of the energy required to cycle the weapon thus rendering the pistol a single shot weapon.That's hollywood for you. At least you don't see suppressors on revolvers anymore. Those wouldn't work at all due to the gap between the cylinder and the barrel where gas escapes at supersonic speeds. They don't really work on rifles either because most rifle bullets travel at supersonic speeds.

Agreed. Big disappointment in almost every way....writing especially. The "affair" threw a different twist into the mix,but it lacked any believeable steam or dynamic. Same ol' Hollywood with the same old predictable chase scenes,Fugitve -like frame-ups, and a villian who escapes from a crowded shopping mall( after killing a few people including a CIA agent)by simply disguising himself in a jacket he steals from a sporting goods store.....or something like that.

Don't worry about the stairs or emergency exit.
