This version gets rid of the flash-forward prologue, which distracted a lot from the rest of the movie up until that point. Some annoying dialogue, the poorly conceived hasty wedding, the Rabbit’s Foot McGuffin and some continuity errors along the way were fixed for an even greater and less annoying movie.

Sacrificing the real time events, this turns “24″ into a movie experience, focusing on what really works. Jack Bauer does whatever it takes to save the day and rescue his family. Now it is a more believable story with faster pacing.
