Death Sentence (the movie)

On Tuesday, September 18, 2007, I went to see the movie Death Sentence, starring Kevin Bacon.

Normally, I don't watch films in this genre, because this is considered as a thriller, and was directed by James Wan, who did the first Saw movie. It is not horror, which is a genre that I do not like to watch anyway, and I rarely watch thrillers.

The premise of the film is that Kevin Bacon's character, who is a victim to a initiation killing. Instead of just grieving with his family and moving on, he takes matters in his own hands, and ends up starting a war between him, his family and a gang.

This is a revenge movie, with lots of action and violence. I went into this movie with low expectations, and I still didn't really enjoy the movie. Though, Kevin Bacon was tolerable as his role, I was amazed.

This movie had some good eye candy in it, and lots of people wearing leather... I cannot believe that this movie was based on a book. I suppose that authors who write smut to get money, and therefore, it sells... Apparently, smut sells... I guess that's why there are so many harlequin romance novels, right?
