Kevin Bacon...always underrated.


Kevin Bacon has always been a great actor and wonder why he doesn't more films. I'm a child of the 80s so I grew up seeing him in a lot of flicks but it sucks too see stars like him now doing B movie, Redbox type flicks. Anyways I just saw Death Sentence and I highly recommend it. Kevin Bacon basically showed every type of emotion you would feel after losing your son and then your wife. He was vulnerable,scared,filled with hate, and then a total badass. Out of all the revenge movies, I have to say this one would be at the very top if not at least top 5. In other movies, the other fathers are quickly transformed into psychos or in some cases were already trained killers. Kevin Bacon stands out in this film and I wonder why I never heard about it until some youtuber reviewed it recently. I just saw a couple of minutes of Bacon's recent show earlier this year and didn't hold my interest but if you give Kevin Bacon a good script and a good budget, he'll stand out for sure. I have always liked his acting...

Kevin's performance was indeed mind-blowing, raw and heart-breaking - as was the film. Always been a fan of his acting, but he truly is sublime in Death Sentence.

I also approve of your signature.

Agreed. I like KB in just about everything I've ever seen him in - which is a lot.

His acting in this movie was terrible, but so was the movie
