This movie was so disappointing in so many ways. No Rube. No original Daisy Adair. Mason was given nothing to do. Roxy did not behave as the original character would. And the new head of the Reaper Squad was a two dimensional character with no back story and no real presence in the story. The show had no real story line. Nothing made sense - the actions of the characters did not fit the story's ground rules. The script had none of the raw edginess and dark humour of the TV show. The pacing was irritating - very amateurish. After watching the whole series we looked forward to a wrap up of the show (ala "Serenity"). It would have been better to have let this show remain in purgatory than leave a bad taste in one's mouth. A waste of a creative premise and an excellent original cast.

After being addicted to the first two seasons I was eager to see this movie and after viewing it I am highly disappointed. The original Daisy has been replaced with a new face who lacks the sophistication and grace that being Daisy entails. I felt she was too over the top with her acting and lacked the character that Laura Harris brought to the role. The sarcasm and comedic pessimism is almost obsolete in this film and I felt I was watching a thoughtless made for TV movie. Mason, who in my opinion, brought the funniest moments to the screen, barely had any screen time and I would of liked to see the Daisy/Mason relationship explored for more than a minute as the movie entails. Stick with the show. This movie offers no closure

If this represents Brian Fuller's (director of the first few episodes of the series) work, then it was a good thing that he left! This DVD movie is flat and disappointing. It is, at times, illogical (the series had a strict logic to it). For example, if shooting the bad guy through the head doesn't 'kill' him, then why, for heaven's sake does cutting him up with a chain-saw and burning the body do the trick? The plot doesn't seem to know where it is going with result that the viewer loses interest. Dolores Herbig has lost her bubbly enthusiasm, Mason is now hopelessly addled, Daisy's past is no longer believable or relevant and Roxy is now somewhat scary and dangerous! Rube is sorely missed. This is a dumbed-down version of the original series. WHAT A PITY!!
