This has to be one of the best vigilante movies I have seen in years. Kevin Bacon was as wonderful surprise. My family and I watched it 3 times in... 2 days. I have a feeling it was overshadowed by Jodie Foster's The Brave One, which cannot hold a candle to Death Sentence. Full Review

p.s.\n\nat no point has anyone EVER at the fox said," there would be no problem had they been a straight couple." That?s just slanderous bull. People... used to ask me all the time if it was a straight bar, or a gay bar. I've always said its an "everybody bar. As long as you don't act a fool, you are welcome." Full Review

Well-made, often intensely gripping genre piece.Full Review

Wan's movie is very efficient. Bacon, skilled pro that he is, provides the character the movie needs, just as he has in such radically different films as "Where the Truth Lies," "The Woodsman" and "Mystic River."Full Review

The film has one thing going for it--it's certainly never boring.Full Review

While there is the requisite amount of shorn limbs and splashing blood one might expect from the director of "Saw," Wan should be saluted for putting the coup de grce off-screen.Full Review

Los Angeles Times

Bears more than a slight connection to the landmark of the genre, 1974's "Death Wish," starring Charles Bronson. It is based on novelist Brian Garfield's sequel to his original book, though any resemblance is tenuous at best.Full Review
