The Punisher
Thomas Jane, John Travolta, James Carpinello, Rebecca Romaijn-Stamos, Laura Harring, Will Patton, Ben Foster. Directed & Written by Jonathan Hensleigh.
The Punisher is one of many revenge movies to come out in recent weeks. I can say without a doubt, it was everything I expected. Frank Castle (Thomas Jane) is an FBI Agent who just goes into retirement after an arms bust, in which a young man is killed. This young man's father, Howard Saint (John Travolta), goes out to get the man who did this to him, Frank Castle.
Castle's entire family is murdered, including his wife and child. He himself is shot several times and set on a dock and lit on fire. He somehow survives, and goes after everyone who did this to him.
The Punisher is a non-stop thrill ride of violence. There are new and spectacular ways of killing people. The action was very intense and well done. The acting was better than I expected, especially from John Travolta. Besides the action, there was also good plot development. Castle making friends with the people who live in the apartment is also good.
Some of the action was unrealistic, which is expected. This is Hollywood; what can you expect? All in all, this is definitely the best revenge movie I have seen in a long time. 8 out of 10.
