I don't know who wrote Death Sentence, but they must not have thought out the plot or story line too well. Much of the movie did not make sense, especially for those of us with some common sense. There were a... Full review

Solid technicals and a pounding score (when appropriate) blast the film to a satisfying conclusion, albeit many deaths and gunfights later.
Kelly Preston has limited screentime but is memorable, and Aisha Tyler makes a great impression as the detective on the case.
