24 redemption

[Zanroth]

This movie was on tv yesterday.
I rather enjoyed the series in general, and this film was somewhat interesting too, however, one thing really, REALLY bugged me.

Why the hell would African rebels speak amongst themselves in fractured English?
I mean, come on, that's just lazy, stupid and freaking sloppy!
A friend of mine reminded me of the start of "the 13th warrior", where at the start, the vikings spoke only norse.
This created a feel of authenticity.
24 redemption decided to take the lazy, cop-out route, landing what could've been a nice movie on the mediocre pile, at least from my perspective.

To those who've seen it, what do you guys say?

Fun fact of the day: Ethiopia is the only country in Africa that does not have a national language from another continent.

The majority of Africans today either speak English or French. It sounds fractured to you because that's their accent, but that's like saying the Scottish speak broken English.

Well, you're one of the 1% of 24 viewers who gives a damn about authenticity, in a backdrop of ridiculous government conspiracies, miraculously won firefights by Jack Bauer, and the most contrived sequiturs of plot development.
