Review of The Punisher (2004) by Navin P — 18 Jan 2010
"This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive,it's an emotional response.
No, not vengeance-- Punishment.".
Pretty average stuff this, and seems more like an introduction to the franchise of Punisher movies. After all, even the first part of LOTR seemed more like an introduction to the characters and the movie trilogy actually took off only in the second movie. However, if you see the sequel (Punisher:Warzone), you'll realize that the 2 movies are barely related....infact they take different background stories as well. So that more or less ruins all the build up that the first movie creates.
Acting is at the level expected in such a movie, but noone really excels... overall, I was kinda disappointed!! :( .. A good movie if you like background stories i.e how a person becomes a superhero, but if you want to watch some superhero action, watch the sequel instead!!
