WOW!!! What a gritty, action packed, emotional roller coaster!!! Death sentence is the best film i've seen in a decade for it's genre. The revenge plot is pretty basic but Kevin Bacon's acting and the direction by Wan make this an unforgettable, gut wrenching story of loss and redemption. The film contains some intense fight scenes and surprisingly the action sequences are fresh and there are some unique death scenes. The soundtrack is very depressing and moody and helps set the tone of the film. Death Sentence had awesome action, great acting by the cast, and a grizzly, rough-edge feel. I liked it a lot and recommend to anyone who likes good action/thrillers. A must see for Bacon fans. I was blown away!

Unforgivably lazy and grindingly unoriginal schlockfest made worse by clunky and pretentious direction. Everybody dies, nobody cares. Everything about the movie has a 'join the dots' feel, it's a cookie-cutter revenge flick that fails to generate any tension and few thrills. Kevin Bacon and John Goodman should have saved a couple of bullets for their agents. Hopefully a career low for two of Hollywoods most watchable character actors. Avoid at all costs.

Look, I like Wan's directing, I like Bacon, Preston, Goodman however this film is a MESS. It has so many cliché's from films and expressions we've seen before and even though I believe Wan to be an interesting director, he so fumbled the creative ball on this one it was hard to keep me from walking out, and I see about 75 films a year and walked out of maybe 4 ever. The pace was slow, the acting not convincing (no part due the actors though I believe), the screenplay, for the talent involved, was surprisingly boring and unimaginative. There was simply no chemistry from start to finish from this film. I believe it 'could' have, however that's were a better director could have pulled it through but sadly not here. Too bad too, I enjoy this type of film and the people involved. Trust me, wait for dollar day at the DVD store if you must.

I watched it a long time ago and remembered that it gave me quite an impact. I decide to watch it again and this time I'm still thrilled. There are very good action scenes and the story is captivating. It makes me feel all the emotions expected. And it shares the same moral lesson with Hamlet: revenge is deadly.

I realize that the title of this review is quite a bold statement but not many movies last year hit me as hard as Death Sentence did or stayed with me this much. I thought everything about this film absolutely brilliant. I realize that not everyone thinks this film is as great as I do but it truly will be a movie that I will love forever. Death Sentence definitely has the feel of a James Wan flick. The gore, the cinematography and just the whole feel of the film are reminiscent of his style. Kevin Bacon does an awesome job as his character, as well as Garrett Hedlund who plays his character so well that I don't think I've ever hated a bad guy more. The story is great, and so are all of the visuals. It truly was one of the most intense movies I've ever seen. James Wan fans will be in for a treat when they decide to pop this one in. However, I think a lot more than just those people will enjoy this movie. Check it out right away!

There is something about revenge movies that if made right you always feel like asking what would you do if put in the same situation and mostly the answer will be what else will I do apart from taking revenge. Kevin Bacon playing the loving husband and father see his life getting upside down when his elder son is killed for no reason. He takes matter into his own hands to balance the equation and chaos starts. The strong points of movie are sure footed direction of otherwise horror specialist James Wan and utterly believably moving performance of Kevin Bacon. Kevin makes you feel his pain and anger convincingly. All other supporting actors play their part nicely. Action sequences are shot beautifully. Don't miss it, if you feel like watching a good convincing revenge action flick.
