This movie was the best adaptation of the Punisher to date. No matter what your looking for in this movie, it carries the true Punisher dark shadow that you'd find in any Punisher Max comic. Now some may say the acting is bad, but honestly lets look at the Punisher movie track record. Dolph should've never gotten the role, Thomas was a pretty boy Punisher and well Ray is the real deal. Often i found myself looking at Ray Stevenson and seeing what i've always wanted to see. A tough, gritty, violent Punisher. The lack of diologue is what the last 2 Punisher movies needed. The Punisher is all about getting the job done. Shoot em' up and leave a bloody corpes for the rest to question.
Thomas Jane did an alright job but honestly i have never read a Punisher comic where Frank Castle had a heart to heart with fellow tenants in a building, nor have i ever seen the Punisher with blonde highlights.
Atleast with Lexi Alexander and Ray Stevenson we got a Punisher that kicked ass and didn't bother to take names or create an unnessesary sober story to try and pull heart strings of fans who just want to see their favorite comic book hero do the job the way they have read for years. Shoot first and don't bother asking questions, kill em' fast and hard.
The violence captured everything i wanted to see out of the Punisher. Thomas Jane made Frank Castle out to be a pissed off Backstreet boy. Ray Stevenson was Frank Castle...
The theatre i was in received a solid round of applause once the movie ended and it was well deserved.
BRAVO...
