OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, got a wee bit carried away there…
This is another comic book adaptation, this time focused on Marvel Comics’ “The Punisher”.
It’s the story of Frank Castle, a FBI chap who loses his family to those pesky organised crime people. You know the type.
So Frank dons the Kevlar Vest of Doom, the Automatic Weaponry of Vengeance and the Scary Skull T-Shirt of Punishment to deal with them.
For those of you who care, Thomas Jane (Deep Blue Sea) is Frank Castle and John Travolta (Battlefield Earth) is the chief bad guy and I can’t really remember the directors name. There’s a very good chance that you’ve never heard of him anyway… 
It’s not a traditional action flick, it has more in common with the Sergio Leone / Sam Peckinpah westerns. It’s violent without being glamourous, like so many action films are, it’s funny in a very subtle way and does Frank punish everyone who needs punishment? Oh, yes.
