Based on the 1975 novel by Brian Garfield (who also wrote Death Wish) and directed by James Wan, one of the creators of Saw, Death Sentence is a 2007 action thriller revenge film starring Kevin Bacon as Nick Hume, a father who takes the law into his own hands after his son is murdered by a gang as an initiation ritual. Hume must then protect his family from the gang's resulting vengeance.Not to be confused with the comic book series. | |

Papa Wolf | |
| Death Sentence / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: Deconstructed with Nick. His anger and hate over his son's pointless murder is sympathetic, but him going vigilante and killing Joe only served to have Joe's loved ones retaliate and kill Helen and almost kill Luke. And in the end, he realizes he's no different from them as he dies from his wounds. Subverted with Bones. When he figures out that Nick killed Joe and is about to kill Billy, he cocks his gun threateningly while asking those questions. But, ultimately lets Nick go as he feels that whatever Billy did to warrant Nick to buy so many guns, his son deserves his oncoming death. | |

Genre Deconstruction | |
| Death Sentence / int_23e32a30 | comment |
Genre Deconstruction: This film deconstructs the urban vigilante film that Death Wish pioneered by showing how vigilantism makes everything worse instead of its usual depiction of fighting wrongs with violence. By the end of the movie, Luke is the only surviving member of his immediate family — and even then, he could still either die in his coma or manage to wake up but be Driven to Suicide anyway upon learning about his entire family's deaths. | |

Shotguns Are Just Better | |
| Death Sentence / int_96ecc67e | comment |
Shotguns Are Just Better: Nick's preferred weapon seems to be a double-barreled shotgun even though the people he's going up against have SMGs and other weapons with higher capacity. Somewhat justified in that Nick is not very familiar with firearms and the double-barrel has a very simple manual of arms with few ways it can go wrong. It's also extremely powerful, allowing him to take out anyone he gets with it in one shot and causing serious damage even if he doesn't land a direct hit. | |

Determinator: Nick without doubt. Serious injuries? Multiple armed thugs who have the home field advantage? That's not gonna stop him from getting his revenge. | |

The Oner | |
| Death Sentence / int_e7e558 | comment |
The Oner: The long continuous shot of Nick's shootout with several gang members in a parking garage while he's chasing down a certain mook. The camera continues filming the action, without cuts, as Nick (and the fleeing mook) run up the levels of the garage; at several points, the camera actually backs out of the garage to go up a floor (as if flying). | |

A Real Man Is a Killer | |

A Real Man Is a Killer: The real, and horrifying, reason why Joe killed Brendan. It was part of an initiation from his brother and his gang to kill a random stranger to prove he was a "man". | |

Happier Home Movie: Near the end of the movie, Nick settles down to watch one of these. After losing his wife and nearly losing his other son, this is pretty much all he has left of his family. And then, he dies of his wounds. | |
