Rocking awesome performance by actor Kevin Bacon!
Want to see how one man takes out a gang of murderers, watch this movie!
I wonder how the cops in the movie could act so heartless and useless,
forcing the victim (Kevin Bacon's character) to seek out justice
on his own.
Recommended watching:
Rambo - The Complete Collector's Set (First Blood - Ultimate Edition / Rambo - First Blood Part II - Ultimate Edition / Rambo III - Ultimate Edition / John Rambo - Special Edition)
The Punisher (Extended Cut)

Death Wish...er...Sentence.
Added 9/10/2009
Death Sentence was a rocking good time, especially for revenge thriller aficionados, but there were times when it felt as though James Wan was holding back, unsure of how far to push and who exactly he was making this for, adults or teens. Thrillers like this need to be ruthless, controversial and unflinching; a filmmaker should be willing to show that drug usage, head shot or semi-naked prostitute. I mean can you imagine Death Wish or Thriller - A Cruel Picture without the nudity, violence and drugs? Wan certainly offered a healthy dose of gruesome violence but I couldn't help but feel disappointed and robbed toward the final quarter of the movie. It started feeling very "Hollywood As Usual" like most films do these days.
The acting, choreography, cinematography and FX (read: gore) were all well done but ultimately this film never reaches for anything other than forgettable popcorn entertainment for violence junkies and revenge thriller enthusiasts.
Death Sentence really was fun to watch but I'm still hung up on what I feel could have been serious cinematic mayhem. Instead of taking its place amongst the greatest revenge thrillers of our time, it's just another paint-by-numbers affair with some hoot worthy carnage. Without a doubt this is entertaining enough to keep your interest and definitely good for a party flick.
