Movie Reviews of Death Sentence (Unrated Edition)
Movie Review: Run-on Sentence
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
Summary of Death Sentence (Unrated Edition)
Nick Hume is a loving father with a perfect life until one gruesome night he witnesses something that changes him forever. Transformed by grief Hume eventually comes to the disturbing conclusion that no length is too great when protecting his family. System Requirements:Running Time: 110 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/REDEMPTION Rating: R UPC: 024543491873 Manufacturer No: 2249187James Wan (Saw) brings the ultra-violence to this gritty story of a suburban father (Kevin Bacon) who discovers the consequences of revenge after his son is murdered. The perpetrators of this senseless killing are a multi-ethnic (and highly visible) gang of drug dealers and cutthroats led by the psychotic Billy Darley (Garrett Hedlund); when the case is thrown out on a technicality, Bacon takes a page from Charles Bronson's book (no surprise, as this is based on author Brian Garfield's 1975 follow-up to Death Wish) and pursues a vigilante course to avenge his boy. Things do not go according to Bacon's plan, which cues a series of frantic and well-executed action set pieces, most notably a parking structure chase that unfolds in a nearly unbroken take. Death Sentence breaks no new ground in the action-thriller department, and its characters and dialogue are nearly indistinguishable from any violent crime movie of the last few decades (in its weakest moments, it resembles grindhouse fare like The Exterminator); however, Bacon is excellent (as always) as the mild-mannered architect who discovers his inner killer the hard way, and Wan's knack for screen mayhem and unsettling atmosphere are well used here. The DVD includes both the theatrical version and an unrated cut (which offers 10 additional minutes), as well as two making-of featurettes that originally aired on the Fox Movie Channel, and several webisodes that focus on director Wan, his cast, and the film's elaborate stunts and fight scenes. -- Paul Gaita
