enjoyed this movie. Bad guys finished last. Payback is sweet! Usual scenarios but still entertaining! Kevin Bacon plays a believable part and action scenes are also believable. I do not believe it rated an A+ but I would rate it a solid A.

...Death Sentence is a gripping revenge thriller loaded with in-your-face action, bone-snapping violence, and nail-biting suspense! This film utilizes the typical revenge plot; i.e., a law abiding white-collar executive/family man with the perfect wife and/or kid(s) has member(s) of his family murdered by street thugs. After obviously receiving no justice in court or any help from the less than empathetic police detective(s), and without any prior weapons training/knowledge, he then goes on a one-man rampage and single-handedly 'takes-out' the 'bad guys' throughout the rest of the film. Synopsis: Kevin Bacon stars as (Nick Hume) an upper-class business executive with the perfect family, until his eldest son is brutally murdered during a gang initiation act staged as a gas station robbery. In the style of 'Death Wish', transformed by grief and dissatisfied with courtroom justice and police, Nick takes the law into his own hands waging his personal revenge upon the perpetrator, as well as upon another of the perp's fellow street thugs. Upon doing so, Nick infuriates the gang leader (played by Garrett Hedlund) who leads his gang to take retaliatory revenge upon Nick, Nick's wife, and their youngest son...leaving all three of them for dead. Miraculously, Nick survives the brutal home invasion and regains consciousness in the hospital. While still in protective custody and with a bullet wound in his chest, Nick escapes through a hospital window, purchases his arsenal from a underground weapons dealer (played by John Goodman), and then proceeds to finish where he had left off - to eliminate the rest of the gang of vicious street thugs in retaliation for them brutally murdering his wife and his eldest son...the actual fate of his youngest son is still unknown at the end of the film. BTW, the film's ending presents the opportunity for a sequel...or two, in the same spirit of Charles Bronson's 'Death Wish' film series.Read full review
Thirty-Three Years Ago, Charles Bronson made 'Violent Revenge' fashionable; taking to the streets of New York to avenge a horrible crime in 'Death Wish'. It is back to those 'Bad Old Ways/Days' with 'Death Sentence'. A tale based upon the novel written by Brian Garfield; (whose other novel inspired 'Death Wish'). Directed by 'Saw's' James Wan; starring Kevin Bacon as a suburban white-collar Dad pushed past the limits of reason in a taut, visceral, and unapologetic portrait of brutality. It is an ugly movie; (a compliment given that it has an ugly story to tell). Wan effectively sketches in the Hume Family dynamic in an opening montage of home videos ending at New Year's in the Present Day. The biggest conflict in the household is the sibling rivalry between high school senior and hockey star Brendan (Stuart Lafferty) and 14-year-old, second-string soccer playing Lucas (Jordan Garrett). A Risk Analyst Executive at an Insurance Firm, Nick (Bacon) has provided his boys and his wife Helen (Kelly Preston) with a comfortable life. All of that changes in an instant when Nick and Brendan stop for gas in a bad neighborhood one night and get caught in the middle of a gang initiation. Brendan dies. For Nick, the idea that he failed as a father, that he could not protect his child, is almost as unbearable as the loss. Then he finds out that the killer would probably only serve a few years in Prison - max. While he tells a co-worker dispassionately, sounding every inch the insurance man, "We compensate for our loss and move on," the reality is that he has become a man obsessed. He wants to get even and not just with the killer, but the killer's whole gang. What he sets in motion is something out of Shakespeare, as the gang itself is a family enterprise; lorded over ultimately by Crime Boss Bones Darley (John Goodman) and managed on the street by his eldest son Billy (Garrett Hedlund). And if Brendan was the natural born athlete in the Hume Family, Billy is the Natural Born Killer among the Darleys. Wallis (Aisha Tyler), the Homicide Detective assigned to his case, warns Nick that if he seeks revenge, it cannot end well. But that's kind of the point, isn't it? He is "Everyman"; living through a Nightmare that could take place anywhere. While the film was shot in North Carolina, Wan takes great pains not to identify the location. Even license plates give no clue, just generic numbers with no state. There is a warning here; this is what happens to decent people when they stray too close to an urban milieu — it will reach out to harm you even if it has to track you into the haven of your suburban home. It makes no concessions that good people live in even the worst neighborhoods and that bad people can live in good ones. The movie may be about revenge, but its true theme is paranoia. Truly a tough story to view; with heartwrenching scenes to drench the violence in. Make some room 'Death Wish', this film is destined to sit aside you on the Classic Revenge Thriller Catharsis of the Everyman !! Frankly, Bacon's Best-to-Date !! 5-Star Performances !!!! ** From the Makers of "SAW"; film-fans take close watch. In all films made by "SAW's" creators they slip in "Jigsaw". In "Dead Silence" (SEE MY REVIEW) the Jigsaw Puppet was in Mary Shaw's Lair as a doll against the wall; in "Death Sentence"; "Jigsaw" with the Red Circles Cheeks is Muraled on the Bridge where "Billy" (Garrett Hedlund) is selling drugs. Hitchcock-Like Touch by Director James Wan !!Read full review
The family man and senior vice-president of the insurance company Starship Capital Nick Hume lives a comfortable life with his wife Helen and his sons Brendan and Lucas. While driving back home with his son Brendan after a game of hockey, Nick stops his car in a gas station in a dangerous neighborhood and he witnesses his son being murdered by the punk Joe Darley in the convenience store. When the prosecutor tells the grieving Nick that Joe would get a maximum of three years in prison, Nick tells the judge in court that he has not recognized Joe as the killer of his son. In the night, Nick goes to Joe's place and stabs him to death. When Joe's brother Billy is informed about the death of Joe, he summons his gang in a war against Nick with tragic consequences. Kevin Bacon gives an excellent performance as a traumatised father who witnessed his son's murder and decides to punish the killers himself, rather than depend on the police. The action scenes are truly suspenseful and keep you on the edge of your seat. This is an exciting and gripping movie, the violence shown is not for those with weak stomachs. It's graphic, brutal, edgy and tense. I definitely recommend this movie.Read full review
