Death Sentence
Alright, so I love Footloose. But to be honest, it's the only movie I've ever enjoyed Kevin Bacon in. I even thought his skit on "Will and Grace" was annoying. So after watching this trailer today--before enjoying Bourne Ultimatum--I was shocked to discover how pumped I was to see Kevin go from clean cut family man to vengeance-seeking bad ass. Turns out his character's son, a hockey star in the making, was a victim of a gang initiation during a convenience store robbery. When justice was not served to the teenage murderer, Bacon's character decides to retaliate on his own. It's basically a visual manifestation of the psychological deterioration of a broken man. But to be perfectly honest, I love it cause the stunts are insane. After he kills his son's murderer, the gang targets his wife and youngest son. So what does he do? Forfeits his soul to take theirs to hell. Drops one of those sons of bitches off the top floor of a parking complex. Revenge scenarios are one of the easiest plots to sell. You've got everyone rooting for the good guy and gunning for the bad guys to be buried ASAP. I'm in.
Release Date: Aug. 31
