Kevin Bacon is great in anything he does and DEATH SENTENCE is no exception. You really feel his pain when he loses his favorite son and you understand how that could drive him to do what he does to the people responsible. I was definitely touched by his performance. Kelly Preston has a lesser part as Nick’s wife but she hit all the emotional notes. Garrett Hedlund convinced me as a stone-cold killer. You had no idea how much I wanted Nick to hurt him. John Goodman was great as Billy’s father and gun dealer. However, Aisha Tyler should never play a police detective again. She seemed bored and her character sucked anyway.

No sex but tons of blood, gore, and violence. Add foul language to the mix and you got yourselves an R rated film worthy of its rating.

It could happen, who knows? I know if someone killed my son, I’d want revenge too. Would I get through this extent? I don’t know. But I’m sure some people have done stuff like this in reality.
