Too much of everything

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Seeing "Firefly" resurrected into "Serenity," gave me hope that perhaps one day this show will return in some form. "Brimstone" is one of my favorite shows of all time and I watch it on my old DVD tapes as often as I can.I will never be able to figure out TV executives. This show is truly one of those foul ups that I often cite when talking about the stupid programming moves being made over the years.I hope someone at some point in time will resurrect this show and finish Zeke Stone's quest. The first step would be making the show available on DVD. I believe it's sales would show that there is indeed a market out there for this outstanding show.Long live Brimstone!

The only good thing about this series was John Glover as the Devil. His portrayal of the Devil as a slick, corporate CEO type (just like the character he plays on Smallville) has to be THE best portrayal of the Devil I have ever seen. If he were the main character instead of just a cameo in each episode, the show might have lasted. But the use of supernatural trappings did not change the fact that Brimstone was just another really bad TV series about an ex-cop bounty hunter.

This show was really quite amazing, I wonder if the moral majority had a hand in its premature cancellation, or if it was just too cerebral for most viewers like British series The Prisoner was. Brimstone had a very different take on the eternal war involving heaven, hell and earth. The Devil has no power on earth, so he sends a guy who's only been dead for 15 years, to hunt down 113 other dead people, some truly despicable, some just vengeful victims, some of whom have been dead for millenia and are way more powerful than Stone is, one of the oldest seems to be a shapeshifter and the Devil's lover! Destroying the eyes will send a damned soul back to hell, whether it's an escapee, the Devil, or a damned car (headlights). A trivia stab at Friday the 13th The Series maybe? I also like how Stone is covered with 113 tattoos of all the escaped damned souls, and when he returns one to hell the tattoo dissolving away hurts him physically, kinda like the pain of the absorbing another's Quickening in Highlander. How Stone wakes up every day with the same amount of money in his pocket, or another damned wakes up with a full flask of liquor, was a nice touch. And the Devil really seemed not powerful and not knowledgeable, like the escape of the 113 had never even been imagined before, this escapee roundup was something totally new in the Brimstone universe. Having 2 main characters named Ash and Stone, nice.

After 5 years, it's amazing how this series will come into conversation when I talk to people about great shows that have been cancelled. Following in the tradition of shows like American Gothic, it seems that the networks shy away from shows that could be perceived as "smart" or "cerebral". The series had a great premise and although I've heard it said here that the series run would have been limited by the 113 souls Zeke Stone was to send back, this is not necessarily so... After all, one or two of the escapees could have proven more of a nemesis for Zeke than the others and extended the running life of the show.There are very few shows now that are smart and witty enough to stand this type of test of time though... Where you find yourself asking people, even to this day, if they remember it and the details of it are impressed on you enough that you can impart the plotline, premise and characters of the show to them. This is one show that should have never gotten the axe...
