    I like it too, despite its obvious downfalls.

    It caused quite a stir here too.

    Did this get a release in Ireland? I never saw it hit the cinemas?

    I haven't seen Death Sentence but I do agree that Mr. Bacon is a very under-rated actor.

    Just look at The Woodsman, very good performance and quite a brave role to take on.

    Excellent film. Death Wish reborn. Was only in the cinema a very short time, but very glad I caught it.

    Haven't seen Death Sentence, but Bacon is a terribly good actor, and as mentioned, The Woodsman is quite the film. Definitely one to check out.

    Death Sentence is ok - Bacon was indeed very good in it, but as usual in a James Wan movie, the police and their procedures were utterly, utterly incompetent and awful.

    Good performance from Garrett Hedlund as Billy Darley. For anyone who doesn't know he was that girly twat from Troy and Friday Night Lights. He's unrecognisable here as the chief villian. Check out the final scene between himself and Bacon - "Are you ready?" Twas the best scene of the movie.

    I agree Bacon is top notch, but this film was terrible!

    the storyline, the acting, the many clichés!!

    I laughed the whole way through
