As the eagerly awaited Cowboy Bebop feature film reunites the original director, screenwriter, composer, and vocal cast, it's not surprising that the film plays like an expanded TV episode. What should be the routine capture of a two-bit hacker by Faye escalates into a deadly game ofcat and mouse, as Spike and the gang struggle to prevent the evil Vincent Volaju from murdering every human on Mars. Director Shinichiro Watanabe handles the action sequences with his usual panache. Inside the sinister Cherious Medical research facility, Spike fights a beautiful agent, using a push broom in a series of maneuvers Jackie Chan might envy. The climactic duel between Spike and Vincent plays against innocent yet eerie images of a Halloween carnival, recalling the amusement park setting of episode 20, "Pierrot Le Fou." Knockin' on Heaven's Door will delight fans of the series and provide an excellent introduction for the uninitiated who want to know why Cowboy Bebop is so popular on both sides of the Pacific. (Rated R: violence, brief nudity, minor profanity, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

- Cowboy plague
Take cowboy, add sci fi, New Yorkand animation with a hip music back groundand you have a hit movie with nonstop action.
The fatalism and dead end psychology of the villain
with a government that is everybody's enemy makes the
bounty hunters the heroes without a cause.
I don't think they are really trying to be funny, but
as lot of the dialog and action is so old and over done that
you find yourself laughing at the black humor of the
eastern nihilism ... Read More

I have loved the Cowboy Bebop Series for quite some time, and then of course, the movie came out. I was really hesitant about it, wasn't sure if I was going to like it. I typically don't like movies after the series. But I loved it. I definitely needed to have it to complete my collection. If you're a fan, you'd love it. If you're not a Cowboy Bebop fan, you've probably never seen any of it, and I strongly suggest familiarizing yourself with it.

Rating: - Bebop a lula
Pretty decent treatment of a really well done anime film. The Cowboy Bebop series is legendary in its stature among anime fans and rightfully so. With top notch animation, characters that you grow to genuinely love and an amazing soundtrack by the frighteningly gifted Yoko Kanno, the series and the film are both instant classics.
The DVD has great surround sound and clear picture and the menus make good use of Kanno's ecelectic score. There are some interesting featurettes here that focus ... Read More
