Movie Info

A happy and successful family man is lured down the destructive path of revenge after his son is killed and his wife brutalized in a vicious home invasion. Thomas Archer (Ron Eldard) had it all, a successful career as a senior associate at a prominent architectural firm, a beautiful wife, and a wonderful child. Just when it seemed that things couldn't get any better for Thomas, however, his life was suddenly transformed into a waking nightmare. One night, a violent criminal breaks into Thomas' home, attacking his wife and senselessly murdering his innocent young son. In the aftermath of the tragedy, Thomas implores the police for help in catching the criminals while attempting to pick up the pieces of his broken life by visiting a highly respected therapist (Christopher Plummer). When local law enforcement fails to turn up any leads, Thomas' therapist suggests that the vengeful father contact a mysterious group with the resources to ferret out his son's killer and let the father exact the any kind of justice that he sees fit. His marriage failing, Thomas decides to take his therapist up on the offer, sending the lives of everyone involved down a dark path from which there is no escape, and no return.

Audience Reviews for Already Dead

  • May 19, 2010
    Horrible execution of an uninteresting revenge tale. Even Death Sentence was more fun. Otting had definitely no idea of how to construct a suspenseful film, thinking that throwing us directly into the action and then offering psychological explanations through flashbacks would be a nice idea. See it until Eldard finishes torturing Schweiger and then run away from this flick. The twist ending is so damn predictable you'll regret having sat through the entire film, especially when it drags too damn much in the middle. 34/100

    starts off like saw or hostel and then turns to eerie action. as someone's mentioned there wasn't much dialogue. should've been a computer game. would've been successful then. saying that it's not all bad and when the protagonists are beings stalked through the corridors it actually is quite engaging
