Death Sentence was a good B movie. Kevin Bacon having one bad day after his family gets murdered and goes vengeful killer is an idea in a sentence. I didn't get as much draw from The Brave One.

What worries me here is Eli Roth is directing it. You know he's going to work in some glorious murder-porn, and combine it with a bittersweet ending, more bitter than sweet. I think Bruce is a good choice for it, especially if he accepted the role in some desire to do it, but would have been so much better with someone like...Bryan Cranston. Him and Vincent D'onofrio would have been a wicked pairing for this.
