Excellent, smart action film.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This movie is about an ordinary american family that faced the loss of one of its members by a member of a gang as a ritual to join the gang squad.During the movie you will see dark moments of how each member of the family reacted to the loss, the mother who did the least reaction and tried to get involved with home arrangements and going back with memory by watching home made videos, the brother who showed much response as he was closer to the lost brother, finally the father who saw that revenge by his own hands is the only way to equity.The movie has really dark dramatic sad moments and the director added to it by showing that on the faces of each character so closely and declaring it by the scenes of the brother which will really touch something in your heart.Finally, it's a drama, action and thriller movie with adequate amount of three of them, the moving between the events is really smooth and you will be entertained by the amount of killing with different methods.

How can a nice, kind, "Father of the Year" type morph into parts Navy Seal, Green Beret, Charles Bronson and Clint Eastwood --- with one hell of a score to settle? You tell me. I don't know. The bad reviews for "Death Sentence" are close to on point. The good reviews for "Death Sentence" are close to on point. Which side of the fence one is on depends on the level of one's "suspension of belief" meter.I liked it. Makes me want to put "Death Wish 3" in the DVD.

I first saw this film in 2008 on a DVD. I enjoyed it. The movie was very well made. Kevin Bacon gav an excellent performance as a father seeking revenge. The movie never slows down or gets boring. John Goodman also appears in a nice cameo role. Fans of Death Wish, The Brave One, Harry Brown, The Punisher, Law abiding citizen shud definitely check this out. I was most impressed by the camera work in the chase scenes. I was rooting for the lead character from the word go and Bacon did not let me down. Death sentence was a great thrill ride from the emotional opening credits to the chilling conclusion. At times it was brutal, gory n depressing. The music by Charlie Clouser (Saw series, The collection, Resident evil extinction) was very effective at establishing the proper mood. It has some hard hitting action, fantastic foot chase, some amazing gun fights n some unique death scenes. The soundtrack is very depressing and moody and helps set the tone of the film. Its directed by James Wan (Saw, Dead silence, Insidous, Conjuring, Fast n furious 7). Nice cinematography by John R. Leonetti (Conjuring, Insidious). It's based on the book (sequel to the original Deathwish) written by Brian Garfield, the author of Death wish.
