Cork B @RT87142816 1 day ago Geez this thing careens wildly! There are some really effective action scenes where stuff does not happen the way you think it will - to great effect. Then the movie lapses into a predictable formula, which is just not good. The gang looks like what Boomers think a 70s gang should look like - like 'The Warriors'. Bacon, while I generally like him, does not have the physicality to pull off an untrained one man war. He needs an edge like strength, training, cunning... something other than dumb luck. And they overplay the family sentimentality, when in reality, Bacon does nothing remotely useful to protect them. Maybe call them and warn them?

See more Gabriel S @Sanarel Feb 6, 2026 Based on the homonimous novel by Brian Garfield, Death Sentence is a revenge thriller that starts strong, drives compelling momentum through powerful acting (mainly Kevin Bacon), and lacks a bit of coherence. The story follows Nich Hume trying to cope with the murder of his son. It is as in-the-face as it can get with an emotional package. Things get crazy when it seems like the culprits might get away — not only that, but the reason for the murder also seems to be superfluous. Kevin Bacon is the star here, as expected. He is solid. The only pet-pieve of mine is the credibility. I find it hard to believe that the Justice System would be that failed. To add to that, the Police and Detectives just feel out of their mind; their lack os sympathy is shocking, and I can only feel but a beat cheated as if the story is just forcing matters onto me. Other than that, the plotline and momentum is there. As far as revenge thrillers go, Death Sentence carries itself through just fine.

Kevin Bacon tem atuação sublime, convence muito como pai de família e executivo do mercado de capitais (achei que faltou usar a profissão do protagonista, para acrescentar algo a sua jornada de vingança). James Wan não tem medo de mostrar cenas fortes, isso caiu muito bem, em não sendo num filme de terror. See more Read all reviews
