The original Jack Bauer is Steven Seagal

I just saw this movie again since the last time been like 12 years.

i see a few similarities with the new hero of the day Jack Bauer

espacially when he says this in the beginning to the priest

l knew the only justice l could get...
..would be that that l made for myself - not always by law.
Father... l just killed a woman.
l've lied, l've slept with informants,...
..l've taken drugs, l've falsified evidence.
l did whatever l had to do to get the bad guys.
And then l realised somethin'.
That l had become what l most despise.


Maybe Jack Bauer saw a few of Steven Seagal movies ???
