Part vigilante drama
and part psychological thriller, the James Wan-directed Death Sentence
stars Kevin Bacon as Nick Hume, a deceptively passive exec whose wife and
children are attacked in a sadistic, gang-related hazing rite, and his
oldest son killed. Hell bent on cold-blooded vengeance, Hume pulls a Bronson
by tagging each of the perpetrators, then tracking down and rubbing out
each one, with the help of formidable, blue-steel artillery. Aisha Tyler
co-stars as the homicide detective who first agrees to assist Hume in his
mission, then begins to edge up to the conclusion that the unstable father
himself might be responsible for the nasty crimes against his family. Kelly
Preston co-stars as his wife, Helen Hume; the cast also features John Goodman
(The Big Lebowski), Leigh Whannell (Saw) and Matt O'Leary. Ian Jeffers
loosely adapted Brian Garfield's popular 1975 novel.
