The Punisher Reviews

Bring back Dolph!!
The movie looks alright, except for one thing--They should have dug up Dolph Lundgren to reprise his role as the Punisher. Maybe he was too busy making Masters of the Universe 2....

THE PUNISHER WILL BE BETTER THAN DAREDEVIL
If for no other reason, the Punisher should be better than Daredevil thanks to NOT having Ben Affleck in the movie. I don't see a problem with a $30 million dollar Budget. Unlike Spiderman, Hulk, or even Daredevil, the Punisher will require very little in the way of special effects.

The Story will change slightly from the comics. Undercover FBI agent and former Marine Frank Castle (Thomas Jane) is devastated when his wife and children are killed when they accidentally witness a mafia hit, and with nothing left to lose, decides to dedicate himself fully to the eradication of crime (organized and otherwise) from America, as an army, assassin, judge and jury all rolled up into one man (and a whole lot of guns): The Punisher. Wearing a menacing black battle suit with a white skull emblazoned on his chest, the Punisher first sets his sights on the crime syndicate that was responsible for the murders of his family. Along the way, his vendetta quest leads to the son of Howard Saint (John Travolta), a former underworld boss who had gone straight, but the death of his son leads him to get back into crime, and guess who's he gunning for...? (Harring plays Travolta's wife; Romijn-Stamos plays Joan, a woman who assists the Punisher; Pro Wrestler Kevin Nash plays a Russian assassin.)

I've seen Jane in a couple of movies, Deep Blue and Dreamcatcher and he was pretty good. Anyone has to be better than Dolph Lundgren. I expect this to be short on plot and big on flying bullets and explosions. Travolta will add some star power and I predict this will be a money-maker.
