"I'm coming for the rest of your family. You just bought them a death sentence, motherfucker."

As straightforward pulp revengers go, Death Sentence is disposable but satisfying. Considering the contemporary standard for its genre, you could do far worse than James Wan's flashy shoot-'em-up vigilante actioner. Certainly, Death Sentence is a dumb and derivative action flick that confu... read more

This movie was very predictable and not very realistic. It is a "wantabe" Death Wish. It tries but doesn't really come that close to the one that started it all. Kevin Bacon's character is a nice guy that tries to turn evil with revenge. I didn't think he pulled the change off very well. The character didn't really fit the part very well. One bright spot in the movie was John Goodman. His c... read more

"April 14 "It was never gonna balance." "What did you say?" "The equation. Sometimes it's... just chaos. That's all there is." I thought this was a good movie. I like to think of it as a newer version of Death Wish. This movie proves that James Wan can make an action-thriller just as good as he can make a horror movie. "

Katselut 2013 (31 movies items)

"12.1. Netflix Alkupuoli oli ihan lupaava, mutta tuntui lässähtävän jossain puolipaikkeilla vähän turhan keskinkertaiseksi kostoelokuvaksi. Baconin roolisuorituksesta en pahemmin moitittavaa löytänyt, mutta ei riitä pelkästään kantamaan tätä loppuun asti. Väkivaltaa ja räiskettä löytyy aika paljon, ja toimintakohtaukset on muutenkin ihan kivasti toteutettu. Kyllähän tämän jokatapauksessa loppuun asti katseli, vaikka loistavan alun jälkeen itselleni pettymys. Muihin kostoel"

"6.1, Netflix Pekoni-Kevinin poika tapetaan huoltoaseman ryöstössä ja mies päättää kostaa. Ihan kiva että tässä on sen verran realistinen ote, ettei päähenkilö suin päin lähde ampumaan porukkaa vaan tuskailee jatkuvasti omaa menetystään eikä oikeastaan itsekään tiedä mitä on tekemässä. Musiikki nyt on turhan imelää, mutta silti toimii kohtalaisesti. Keskinkertainen vigilante-leffa, joka ei kaikesta huolimatta onnistu nostamaan päätään massasta."

An average movie

“After booking some major success with 'Saw', it took about 3 years for James Wan to follow up with another flick and I was really intrigued about it. Eventually, it is a rather standard vigilante movie and, not surprisingly, an adaptation of the book called 'Death Sentence' which was a sequel to the book called 'Death Wish' which was adapted in the most famous vigilante movie ever made starring Charles Bronson. However, it seems that the movies don't have much to do with the books, expect that they deal with a familly guy who decides to avenge his familly. Anyway, I thought it was rather well made, very violent, with some pretty decent performances by Kevin Bacon, Garrett Hedlund and John Goodman. The main issue I had is that the movie never really knew where it should stand. I mean, from ” read more
