Death Sentence (2007)

Run-on Sentence

I think the film is a waste of good acting. It's all about revenge. And Kevin Bacon's character, Nick, deserves revenge because his son was brutally murdered. But there is gratuitous violence, a lack of basic logic, and a failure to build much interest in the key players.

Nick is a corporate executive who somehow (never explained) is also a shockingly effective killing machine, adept at using car doors and seat belts as lethal weapons. He's a master of diverse firearms, although he needs manuals to figure out how they are assembled. He's pretty good with head slams too.

Excellent !!

I saw the preveiws of this movie and decided to buy it and I'm glad I did. If a movie is to slow I will usually fall asleep, due to my job being very demaning but I was on the edge the whole time. I am going to watch it again. I hate movies that leave you wondering, this one made you feel finished. If you like action and tender moments this is the one for you. June 9, 2008

Death Sentence, the movie for all who have had enough!!

First of all, this movie was gritty, raw, and vulgar...I luv it! Kevin Bacon always puts his soul into his roles (even if the movie isn't that great), and I believed in his portrayal of a Executive risk assesser for an Insurance Company. Great cast, well written script, and if you've Ever seen the Death Wish series, this kicks that concept up a notch bigtime! Classic vengence flick! June 4, 2008

Great Action Movie

This is a great movie, Imagine your son getting shot while at a convienence store, while your dad is putting gas in the car, and see's the whole thing, and trys to stop the Armed robbers. The only thing he can do is claim revenge. Great movie. May 17, 2008

Death Sentence

I always enjoy seeing Kevin Bacon, but this movie is rather predictable. There have been several vigilante films like this including the "Death Wish" series Charles Bronson made famous. Nothing new, mans son is killed by hoodlums, court won't give justice, man strikes back, hoodlums strike back and mans family is dead or dying, man kills hoodlums and himself in the process. One thing that should bother most people here is Bacon leaves a son in the hospital and so when he goes on his last rampage of killing he leaves a son without a mother or father. Now if he truly loved his son that should not have happened. If you enjoy movies about vigilantes you may want to see this. This is a new look at an old idea. Good acting, directing, effects, and sets make it worth at least a rental. I am afraid I didn't see anything to make it stand out. Decent quality DVD with mediocre replayability. If you enjoyed this be sure to catch "Death Wish" one to five, "Vigilante", "The Exterminator" one and two, and "The Punisher". May 5, 2008
