Review of The Punisher (2004) by Cls — 12 Jun 2015

I've read the Punisher comics that were the inspiration for some of the scenes such as the interrogation and the apartment setting where Frank Castle and his 3 neighbors live. Although Thomas Jane acted well in this movie, I felt that his look for this movie should have been as intimidating as Ray Stevenson's version, which in this reviewer's opinion had the "look" of the Punisher as he appears in the 2000's-era comics.

Unfortuntely, most of the villains aren't memorable and I wished the movie used a recurring villain from the comics for the Punisher to fight against instead. The revenge flick is nothing new - yet we are talking about someone who punishes criminals on a daily-basis and that's what the Punisher is good at.

Hopefully in the future, someone would actually write a decent story about this Punisher character.
