Wow, I didn't realize this Kevin Bacon was so new. Man, this violent dog of a flick left me wondering what I am doing watching almost all the library films. Bacon plays a family man with a great job and two active teenage sons.
A bunch of hoodlums kill his older son in front of him and dad goes on a revenge spree. The baddies fight back and go after his wife and other son. I don't think the world works the way this 2007 film portrays. I don't think cops are quite so hostile to crime victims and quite so forgiving when they go on killing sprees.
I wonder what some films want us to think about the world. I realize Coos Bay is far away from the "big city," but it's just not as scary out there as some want you to think. Turn away from these scare tactics.
I have NO IDEA why the system has two copies. Dora and Bandon both have copies of the DVD.

If you really want, Amazon has this on DVD:
Death Sentence (Unrated Edition)
Enjoying seeing her on Dancing with the Stars? Have a look at a young Cloris Leachman. She plays a fact checking housewife who gets picked for a jury. She finds herself suspecting her husband killed the woman. Nick Nolte plays the man charged, the husband of the murdered woman.
This made for TV film just doesn't raise to the level of good entertainment. We see her husband kill the woman in the beginning. So when she starts to suspect, we don't care. Maybe the style of the day exposed everything then let us guess how it would work out. This ain't Columbo.
Bandon and Coquille have copies of this one.
