Movie Review: The Punisher

Monday, October 12, 2009
Synopsis: Frank Castle ia a man who has seen too much death in his life, first as a Delta Force Op and later as an FBI special agent. He has managed to beat considerable odds, and is finally moving out of the field and into a normal life with him wife, Maria, and young son, Will. However, on his final assignment, the operation spins out of control and a young man, Bobby Saint, is inadvertently killed. This places the FBI on the wrong side of Tampa businessman Howard Saint, his wife Livia, and their underworld ties. Inflamed by the death of their son, the Saints are on a mission of blood vengeance. Frank's worst nightmare comes true when Howard Saint and his lieutenants unleash hell at the Castle family reunion. But Castle, to his everlasting torment, survives. Now, Frank Castle--the Punisher--views the world as one darkened by war, crime, cruelty, and injustice. He has no superpowers to battle the evil he sees, only his fierce intelligence, his years of combat experience and, above all, his iron determination to avenge those wronged by society's villains.

Starring: Thomas Jane, John Travolta, Will Patton, Roy Scheider, Laura Elena Harring
Directed by: Jonathan Hensleigh
U.S. Rating: R

The Punisher offered a witty script supported by an amazing cast. Thomas Jane played such a great role as Frank Castle, the FBI special agent who loses his family and becomes The Punisher, fighting crime and injustice with no mercy. John Travolta plays also a great supporting role as the powerful and rich Howard Saint, who killed Castle's family after losing his son in a secret operation led by Castle. Even though it was consider a poor script by some critics, everyone agreed that Jane and travolta played strong and convincing roles, saving the day for this comic book adaptation.

What did I like from this movie?

1. I really enjoyed all the action scenes in this movie. All of them offer great entertaining moments
2. The roles of Mr Dumpo and Dave provided some good laughs, giving the fun side and complement of the story

What did I dislike from this movie?

1. I don't know why he couldn't get related with Rebecca Romijn, even though, we know that all comic book heroes can't be fall in love or work on a love relationship as normal people, right?

I would rate this movie with a 3/5
