DVD Talk Godfather & 2020 TOTY Winner
Finally took this off the DVR 
I really liked it. Some nice work by Keifer. It wasn't the epic 24 movie we all hope for, but a nice table-setting for Season 7 (even better than the Toyota ad that served as Season 6's prologue!). I have posted and said that 24 was the TV show hardest hit by the writer's strike, but if it affords that nice set-up, gives an uninterrupted season and make us miss Jack a bit, well then it obviously worked out pretty well for them.
BTW: That trailer for Season 7 got me thinking : How many members of the Robocop cast have appeared on "24"?

Of course, 24 has had 6 actors from The Shawshank Redemption: Paul McCrane, Bob Gunton, Gil Bellows(if you count 24: Redemption), Mark Rolston, V.J. Foster, and Jude Ciccolella.
Maybe one of these days, they can get Clancy Brown to make an appearance. He's already shown up on Lost.
Edit: Never mind. Robocop has had 6 actors show up on 24. Add Jesse D. Goins and Edward Edwards to the list. I guess they're tied with Shawshank.

Had it on DVR, then forgot to finish it.
This... was underwhelming. I couldn't stay with Season 6 for too long (I gave up once Boris the Blade showed up, eventhough I like him). Let's hope Season 7 is different.

Hmm, at least 4. Peter Weller, Ray Wise, Kurtwood Smith, and Paul McCrane.

As a side note, if you pick this up at Blockbuster as part of their "4 for $20" used DVD sale, you only get disc 2.
