PUNISHER, THE
Released: April 16, 2004
Finally, a comic book turned into a movie that WORKS! The Marvel comic has been transformed into a well-told and paced movie, without losing any of the comic's impact. The movie stars Thomas Jane as the man who sees his wife, son and entire family murdered. He becomes bent on revenge and doesn't stop until evryone involved, right up to the leader (John Travolta) is dead. Overall, a very satisfying movie from beginning to end. Also starring Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Roy Scheider, Samantha Mathis and Laura Harring. From first time director (but prolific writer) Jonathan Hensleigh.
