Season seven of “24” finds Jack Bauer (Keifer Sutherland)in
hot water in its initial episode; he faces hard questions
from a senator (Kurtwood Smith of “That 70’s Show” and “Robocop”)
about his methods for questioning suspects as a member of
the CTU team. Despite questions about his methods, Jack
gets pulled into an FBI operation by Agent Renee Walker
(Annie Wersching) and discovers that his friend and former
co-worker at CTU Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) has turned
terrorist. ***
The seventh season of “24” finds the show back on track
after a lukewarm season six. Introducing familiar characters
in new “roles” in the show adds tension to the seventh season.
The fact that Jack is on the outside gives him added reason
to be a good boy—he can’t be a good boy of course but he
does do good for Americans going to any lengths to protect
us. ---
Image & Sound:
The seventh season of “24” looks extremely good with
a nice transfer. The show is presented in its original 1.78:1
aspect ratio with nice detail the only problem I can see
is that darker scenes tend to be a bit muddy looking. Occasionally
we see some compression artifacts but on the whole the show
looks quite good. ***
Audio surpasses the video with a nearly perfect 5.1
Dolby Digital Surround mix with nice ambient effects even
during long stretches of dialogue. ---
