Just watched Death Sentence with Kevin Bacon. I remember seeing the trailer and wanting to see it, but...didn't.

Basically fairly simple plot, gang kills family/businessman's son, he loses it, wages war with the gang. The last half hour is really where all the good action is, the rest of the movie has a bunch of action but much less organized and more one-sided..on either side of the conflict.

I like this movie because it shows a regular guy who has never really had any crazy fighting or gun experience (that is mentioned) go from normal to killer.

Above is a cool scene where he actually has to learn how to use guns before he goes in blazing them.

Another thing I really liked is the common sense and realistic behavior that is shown throughout the film, whenever somebody is being hurt or attacked. How many times are you like. "WHY DOESN'T HE JUST DO _______________" in a movie? You don't get much of that with this... a lot of it is "oh, good call man, i probably would have done the same thing" Examples: wiping off fingerprints, grabbing nearby objects as weapons, taking certain precautions, etc. etc.

Not anything profound by any means, but a good action flick, I highly recommend it. The only bad part is having to deal with Aisha Tyler, who is a pretty shitty detective overall in the movie.
