Death Sentence
Father and favourite son are out, stop to get gas and the son gets killed inside the gas station in a gang initiation ritual.
The perpetrator gets off in court because Kevin Bacon (the dad) decides not to speak up as the only witness when the perp does one of those threatening finger gestures during court.
Revenge. Our hero wants revenge. He seeks out the perpetrator and while fighting with him (while bringing a knife to the fight), accidentally stabs him to death.
Of course we know now that the rest of the gang members are gonna come after him, since who else would have killed the little bastard.
Good old Kevin manages to kill quite a few of these gang members but then they ambush him, his wife and other (neglected, you liked my brother better) poor son.
Looks like everyone’s dead. Kevin, though, wakes up in the hospital, not yet recuperated, finding out his other son is in a coma in the other room. The wife is dead – he doesn’t seem overly upset about that one, but he’s going to avenge the family.
We’ve got the final confrontation and both he and the last remaining gang member look like they’re both done in. We don’t know if they’re both dying, just one or the other, but that’s how the movie ends.
Pretty damned predictable. So predictable that my honey even found it predictable. It wasn’t bad though. Some of the lines were pretty lame, but maybe when your son has been killed and you’re dealing with idiotic gang members, you spout stupid lines.
I wouldn’t own it, but I didn’t turn it off. If there’s nothing else you haven’t seen, I guess you might as well rent this since some of the chase is pretty good.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
