Death Sentence – Todesurteil (2007)

Death Sentence – Todesurteil: Directed by James Wan. With Kevin Bacon, Garrett Hedlund, Kelly Preston, Jordan Garrett. Nick Hume is a mild-mannered executive 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.

“No logic but lots of action, violence, gunfights and gore in this one. There is very little meat on the story-bone and in times where, thanks to TV, everyone is an expert on police procedures the lack of logic is almost appalling. But throw the CSI-knowledge over board and youu0026#39;re in for a crazy and entertaining ride. Nicely shoot with some great camera movement Wan is shooting stuff to pieces almost like Hong Kong directors did in the early u0026#39;90s. No marksmen here, but who cares, this is pure pleasure for the eyes. Kevin Bacon delivers nicely and adds a whole new facet to the dad-on-a-rampage character. Thereu0026#39;s even a little u0026quot;Taxi Driveru0026quot; in him – and not only because of his gun and hairstyle.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf this is your poison go give Death Sentence a try.”
