Death Sentence

ActionAdventureCrimeDramaThriller105 min

Nick Hume is a mild-mannered executive whose life breaks apart when his oldest son is murdered in a gang initiation, and his search for justice turns into a campaign of revenge. Kevin Bacon's Nick steps outside the law as the gang closes in on his family, with Kelly Preston as his wife Helen and John Goodman appearing as a gun dealer who pushes the conflict further. James Wan directs the story at street level, moving from parking-lot violence to hospital corridors and retaliatory shootouts as grief hardens into vigilantism.
