Death Sentence had a lot of promising qualities that just didn’t come together to form what should have been a great movie. The story was there, as was the action and tone, but the plot is so full of holes, not even Kevin Bacon could avoid falling down into the abyss. The so-called realism that might have been portrayed in this film gets shot out the window with the obvious logic errors that occur in nearly every scene. The idiocy surrounding the plot was almost too much for me to bear, but I somehow managed to make it through to the end of the movie.

The only saving grace to this movie is in the action scenes, and even those who stand a good deal of improvement. The development of Bacon’s character, as well all of the others, was shaky at best, and did less than the bare minimum in order to keep the story moving along.

Fast forward to all the fun scenes with action, death and destruction, and then turn this movie off, because that’s all you’re going to get out of this one. 3.0/10 for this disappointment.
