Movie Reviews of Day Break - The Complete Series
Movie Review: It deserves a cult following
Summary: 5 Stars
This series was one fine example of great science fiction and drama. It had an intriguing premise, executed with sharp direction, clear writing, and an excellent cast. There were never any segues, and the confident pace established trust, never stirring suspicions that the writers might be making it up as they went along. Like LOST, it got more complex as it went along (though not nearly as labyrinthine). It was one of those series that, if you didn't get in on the beginning (which I didn't), it would be difficult to catch up. This is probably why, despite all that was good about the series, it never gained an audience and the network canceled it before the denouement. But kudos to the network for taking the chance, and more importantly, having enough respect for the viewers to complete a final episode, even if it wasn't aired. And it's here, in this DVD set. There are so many examples of creators of shows like these, simply driving away after the ratings fail, leaving us in the middle of the desert. For not abandoning us, the network should be commended.
If you enjoy fresh original television, I highly recommend you pick this up, and then spread the word. The series deserves a bigger fanbase, and is just too good to let whither illustriously in dusty back annals of TV history. I bet you could bring it up to your friends and they'd have no idea what you were talking about.
Whatever. The good thing is, now you can see the entire series, right up to its satisfying conclusion. The picture quality is rich and clear, with a lot of detail, even though it's in SD. And there are lots of extra features to boot, such as featurettes and commentaries by different cast members, writers, and producers. And let's not overlook the presence of Moon Bloodgood as Rita Shelton, love interest to Detective Hopper (Taye Diggs). Moon is a woman I'd like to see grace more often our screens at home and in theaters, as her beauty has a serene warmth to it. It's always nice to see her.

Summary of Day Break - The Complete Series
Detective Brett Hopper is having a really bad day, accused of killing Asst. DA Alberto Garza. He has an alibi, but no one believes him. When he realizes that he has been framed, he tries to run away but has to stop when he learns that his loved ones are also in danger. But one morning, he wakes up and relives the same day over and over again. To stop this cycle, solve the mystery and have a normal life, he must find out who framed him. Taye Diggs (Kevin Hill) stars in this action-packed thriller that takes a bad day and multiplies it by infinity. Detective Brett Hopper (Diggs) is having a hellacious day; the kind of day where nothing goes his way and he just can't wait to put it behind him... only he can't, because he's living the same day over and over again.Hopper is accused of killing Assistant District Attorney Alberto Garza. He offers a solid alibi which no one believes. He realizes he's been framed. And he runs, discovering en route that not only he, but also his loved ones are in danger. He then wakes up and relives the same day over and over again. In order to break the cycle and move on, he has to figure out who framed him and solve the complex mystery surrounding Garza's death. He is also forced to heal the fractured relationships with those he loves. Either Hopper can break this day, or this day will break Hopper. Caught in the vicious cycle of his horrific day is girlfriend Rita Shelten (Moon Bloodgood, Eight Below), who is the first to be sacrificed by the mysterious individuals out to frame Hopper; Rita's ex-husband and Hopper's ex-partner, Chad Shelten (Adam Baldwin, Independence Day, Serenity, Full Metal Jacket) - now with Internal Affairs - is jealous of the relationship and knows much more about what's going on than he's willing to admit; Hopper's sister, Jennifer Mathis (Meta Golding), not only has to deal with the abuses of her husband but is in danger as she and her children are used as pawns to get to her brother; Hopper's partner, Andrea Battle (Victoria Pratt, Mutant X, Cleopatra 2525), is under scrutiny by the department and Internal Affairs - can she be trusted?; and reputed gang leader Damien Ortiz (Ramon Rodriguez) discovers that his police-protected cover has been inexplicably blown and that he is somehow connected to Hopper's dilemma and now a target in the conspiracy. Only when Hopper figures out why his life is broken and how to fix it will he awaken to a brand new day. He will not only try to save himself but those close to him who are now in danger. But he must carefully weigh each decision he makes, as all will have consequences -- advantageous or disastrous.
