Product description
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.

James 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

- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2025Excellent movie and great storyline. I’ve seen this movie several times. I was discussing this with a family member. I could only find it for purchase on prime so I rented it to watch. Definitely recommend this movie.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2007After watching this you may feel a little distant and on edge. It isn't a simple 'revenge' theme. The message may be that the cost of 'justice' can be higher than the cost of the injustice, and in the end you can't make it all come out equal. But the message seems secondary to what I liked about this film.
Cliche's become fresh again if they are done well. The scenes of violence taken independently are well composed. The acting is all well done, but you must also really give credit to good music scores and the cinematography for making it work.
A brief list of movie points (without giving anything away):
Casting is very well done, especially with Goodman and the bad guys. Bacon is a great choice as he can play the family man, victim, and psycho all very well.
The beginning tries to establish the characters to build empathy for their later duress. This is standard, necessary, but a little sappy - so don't get too critical.
The buildup for the first violent scene is excellent as you scream at Bacon to open his eyes to where he is and what is going down (classic horror).
The 'bad guys' hang out is introduced to the sound of Jimi Hendrix, and they are very well casted as dudes you do not want to ### with.
John Goodman is simply outstanding in his role and acting.
The first revenge scene is very believable in how it happens.
The 'bad guys' are shown as having emotions and intellect, not just as dehumanized thugs, + the balls to whack you at your favorite Starbucks at noon (there's no Starbucks in the movie, just making a point).
The 'Rambo' part of the film fullfills it's brutal purpose with a neat change in filming.
The end scene gives a tribute to Robert De Niro's early work in Taxi Driver.
You will probably be left with a dark alienated mood not a clear simple message. So watch it for the mood, not a message.
"2 thumbs up"
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2023A tale of a suburban father revenge story. When his son is killed in a senseless murder for a gang initiation by some local thugs, Father (Kevin Bacon) takes the law into his own hands. Thought provoking, great edge of your seat thriller. A little too much emotional melodrama, but violence will entertain with top notch performances and shootout scenes. I loved it in the theater and bought the dvd. A little bit of death wish film series nostalgia. Highly recommend
- Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2018A very realistic Death Wish. It has one thing that is sorely lacking from revenge films, the lesson that revenge has a price. Kevin Bacon, as usual, delivers a hard hitting performance that leaves you wondering what the hell happened to him? Did Kevin just possess the body of another person? James Wan who changed the horror genre with SAW is a very well equipped storyteller and he delivered a most impassioned portrayal of a man's descent into near madness. It was dark, it was gritty and it never failed to involve you in the story and to take genuine interest in the characters.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2024Can't turn off the subtitles. Keeps freezing and volume going in and out. A lot of the movie is unrealistic. Otherwise, it has the potential to be a good movie. Wouldn't watch it again though.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2021I'm not happy this movie was edited. Three key scenes were deleted: 1. When Dad confronts gang when they're on the way to cremate the fallen member who was killed by Nick Hume. 2. The funeral home scene when the funeral home director was forced to accept the money from Nick Hume's wallet as full payment for the cremation. 3. The very end scene was edited to not show Nick Hume taking his hand off his neck and profusely bleeding. Not sure how Amazon can get away with this kind of editing. I would like a refund, but do not want the movie deleted from my list.
