spoiler free review or opinion . first off and i be a huge fan of the 24 series . there be good season and not a brilliant one coughseason6cough . but at least every season get me catch up in the middle and and i always crave for just one more episode . this movie should prove me otherwise . the first half of the movie i be try to get to know the real storyline . i be wait for serious threat and terrorist and bomb and data espionage . well and something . then it hit me and this movie be really just about move a bunch of kid around . it be so blatantly mindless boring that even the action sequence do not get my mind of tomorrow grocery list . in the series there be always an imminent danger to something . a nuclear bomb and poison gas or some nasty viral stuff that put a large portion of the citizen in jeopardy . grant and it can also be fun and extremely exit if only one person be at risk and a it be on the first season . but you could feel with balmer and you actually be worry for him . this movie be just about a bunch of kid and so it not the mass effect . and since the kid do not really bond with me and that be and i never have the feeling of know them i never really cared . i be hop the other plot in the movie would cause some excitement and but it fail at that too . my recommendation represent if you be interested a hell in jack bauer haul a bunch of kid around and if you be a hardcore fan and watch this . everyone else represent watch the athlete foot of your best pal grow . much more exciting . and you care about the person and at least .
