Went and saw Death Sentence this weekend. First off I was shocked with the reviews this movie is getting it is just being Slaughtered on rotten tomato (16% approval rating) people going as far as calling it “An old-school exploitation picture” (which makes me wonder if they have ever seen an exploitation picture in there life) So not expecting much I went and saw it with my hubby and my parents and WOW this movie was really good. The acting was good, the story line was good, and it was believable (well as believable as any movie can be). The whole movie revolves around this family and this gang there is a lot of character development so much so both me and my mom were in tears towards the end of the film (we had become that emotionally attached towards the characters). There’s not a lot of filler and no pointless why are they there characters. Even though my mom and I were sobbing like little kids the movie had a good amount of blood and gore (flying body parts always make for a good movie) and despite the slow character developing beginning the end is very high action and kept my husband on the edge of his seat. There is a lot of deep seeded morals to this story (not in your face enough to spoil the movie but if you care to read between the lines they are there) my dad came up with the best moral for this movie “Don’t piss off the guy in the suit”. All and All I Loved this movie and so did my Family and maybe 4 people can’t over come the hundreds of bad reviews but I say give this movie a chance you might like it, you might not, heck you might cry like a little baby like my mom and I did, heck if your squeamish (not desensitized to gore like me) you might just throw up.

Movie critics base their reviews on what they feel a movie should have. They didn't think that the plot and sublot and subtle nuances and other things were good. Things that no one really cares about except movie critics who have far too much time on their hands. The fact that Revenge of the Fallen made $400 million shows that critics are almost always wrong. It's the audience that makes a movie, not the critics. I think their job should be limited to a review and that's it.

It looks to me like a lot of the critics responded negatively to the level of violence in the movie; not everyone is "desensitized to gore". In any case, taste in movies is a personal thing. If you're going to pay any attention to the critics, find a few whose views you like or at least understand. When you understand the individual critic's likes and dislikes, you can get a better idea of whether you'll like a movie or not.

Some felt that this was a bad "Death Wish" rehashing; others thought is was just midless violence.
There is no accounting for taste from anyone.
Did you like it? That's all that matters
