Member Rating:  
Part vigilante drama and part psychological thriller, the James Wan-directed Death Sentence stars Kevin Bacon as Nick Hume, a deceptively passive exec whose wife and children are attacked in a sadistic, gang-related hazing rite, and his oldest son killed. Hell-bent on cold-blooded vengeance, Hume pulls a Bronson by tagging each of the perpetrators, then tracking down and rubbing out each one, with the help of formidable, blue-steel artillery. Aisha Tyler co-stars as the homicide detective who first agrees to assist Hume in his mission, then begins to edge up to the conclusion that the unstable father himself might be responsible for the nasty crimes against his family. Kelly Preston co-stars as Bacon's wife, Helen Hume; the cast also features John Goodman (The Big Lebowski), Leigh Whannell (Saw), and Matt O'Leary. Ian Jeffers loosely adapted Brian Garfield's popular 1975 novel. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

    A sicker version of the Bronson "Death Wish" series, lacking in the calculating, almost logical approach of that series. This is just about a very upset guy who impulsively engages in a chaotic blood spree. Not worth seeing.

    This movie felt like it didn't know what it wanted to be. Or like it was directed by two different directors, or one director with a serious identity crisis. I don't mind violent gore. But I do get confused when there is Enya type of dramatic music in one scene, and then the following scene a leg being blown off. I say to the director: Pick one. Gore or drama, but don't mix them both up.

    Yes   |   No
