Marvel Comics presents a second big-screen version of The Punisher, with this action-packed adaptation from screenwriter-turned-director Jonathan Hensleigh.
Frank Castle (Tom Jane) is a retired F.B.I. agent spurred into action after the merciless slaying of his wife, father, and son. Adopting the superhero guise of The Punisher, Castle aims to wreak vengeance for his dead family by tracking down the culprits responsible for their demise. All clues point to Howard Saint (John Travolta), a ruthless businessman and nightclub owner whose son was mistakenly killed by Castle in a botched undercover operation back in his F.B.I. days.
Unique amongst Marvel superheroes, The Punisher possesses no special powers, just remarkable strength parried with a blind determination to avenge his family. As he hunts down Saint, Castle surrounds himself with three fellow societal outcasts to get the job done, namely Joan (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos), Bumpo (John Pinette), and Dave (Ben Foster).

This film is a masterpiece of a film. Frank castle ( lead character ) his family get killed in a mob hit with him being in the hit as well as his family. The mob are convinced he is dead well he is not lol. And you are hanging onto your seat all the way its great. The head of the mob is john travolta and is very very evil. Im not gonna give a way any more of the plot Just ! GET IT !
Critics should be punished.

This film got slated quite badly by movie critics upon release but being a comic book fan i was going to watch it anyway, and i just don't know what film they were watching because it sure wasn't this.
The acting is very good all around (especially the brooding Thomas Jane) the plot follows the comic book version closely with the exception of moving the setting to florida, and the action while not being non-stop is plentiful and never over the top.
Maybe it could have been a little more violent what with an 18 certificate anyway, the torture scene is a great concept and very amusing even though the Punisher in the comic would actually use the blowtorch, but that's a small criticism in a very enjoyable film that was made on less than a third of the budget of Spider-Man 3.
Great

Wicked film. Everything a action film needs, this has. I can't wait for The Punisher War Zone. But I think it'll be let down because Tom Jane won't be in it.
This is one film you wanna see.
