10 Movies Where The Good Guy & Bad Guy BOTH Lose

James Wan's Death Sentence wasn't well-received upon original release in 2007, but its esteem has since grown with general audiences, graduating into something of a gonzo cult classic.

The scuzzy revenge flick stars Kevin Bacon as Nick Hume, a father who becomes a vigilante after his son is murdered by a gang member.

Though the film ends with Nick killing gang leader Billy (Garrett Hedlund), as with I Saw the Devil, Nick's crusade comes at a massive personal and spiritual cost.

By the end of the story, Nick's wife Helen (Kelly Preston) has also been killed, his remaining son is seriously injured, and he's left waiting to be arrested for his revenge spree. Hell, the extended ending makes it even worse by having Nick die from his wounds.

Even for the standards of "revenge, but at what cost?" endings, this one really, really emphasises the notion that Nick played a massive self-own by trying to take matters into his own hands.
