I was pretty amused with this, it was a fun time killer and I found myself really wondering what was going to happen even though most of the twists were obvious. It was nothing special, but enjoyable nonetheless. The issue with this one, was the fact that the original was great, so there's the obvious comparison between the two.

Whatever happened to Geena Davis?

Good question....ask her manager.

It's too bad that this was Tony Scott's final project. I always wondered (and still do wonder) what his version of "The Warriors" would've looked like. Now, I guess I'll have to keep on wondering about that now that he's passed on.
With that said, I'll probably check out this mini-series, out of curiousity.

Just watched the original movie last weekend, looking forward to watching this from my DVR.
I watched this over the last two evenings and I liked it. I was worried that it wouldn't hold up to being one hour longer than the movie version, but it worked just nicely and I was entertaining enough. It didn't feel too longwinded.
Only problem was that I've seen the movie version so many times that I knew everything that it had to offer in advance, but it should be just fine for people who haven't seen the original. I liked how it recreated many of the "classic" scenes from the original, which doesn't always work, but here it made me smile instead of being annoyed.
About Geena Davis; that was explained in the last scene. However, I think that scene was - although realistic - handled very clumsily.

The mini-series was OK. I need to go see the movie version of it. The DVD art would work better if they get rid of the head boxes at the bottom of the cover.
