Review of Death Sentence (2007) by Rhys F — 20 Feb 2009
A brilliant, bleak and affecting opening is quickly squandered as Bacon tries out his action chops effectively turning the movie into a run of the mill revenge thriller. Think sub-par Man On Fire. The movie clearly has a problem in determining wherever it wants to be an independent film or a hollywood blockbuster, ultimately suceeding at neither.
The trick almost ending perhaps at first seemed pointless, as you felt robbed that the story 'ended' so abruptly, but what follows is much worse, making you wish they had decided to call it a day.
