Title: Death Sentence
Actors/Director/Anything Worth Mentioning Right Away: James Wan directs, while Kevin Bacon stars.
Introduction: James Wan (Saw, Insidious) did this movie. That was enough to make me look past Kevin Bacon being in it. I got it from Netflix.
Location: Throughout a neighborhood. It had a decent budget, but probably not a huge one.
Plot: Kevin Bacon’s favorite son is murdered as part of some gang initiation. His other son goes through the whole “You wish it was me, don’t you” phase while Kevin Bacon goes all revenge psycho on the gang that did it to him. Oh, and the guy who got arrested was about to get off with only parole or some minor sentence. Kevin Bacon wasn’t having this, so he started a murdering spree, which we all know will only end in tears. I kid you not, the leader of this gang is played by the kid from the new Tron. It’s kind of funny. Anyway, if this plot sounds somewhat familiar then you must have also seen Law Abiding Citizen.
Acting: It’s good for who is in it.
Production: It looks good enough.
Sex/Nudity: Nope, just good old fashioned killing.
Special Effects: They are about the only redeeming quality of this movie.
Overall Verdict: If you never see this movie, you will not be sad or any less of a movie fan.
