good back-story, and good acting

Absolutely the worst movie.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The punisher is a action it is a very good movie tomes jane is good as the punisher

a great action film. for the high respect for the original source. for humor and for the use of cultural references. and, sure, for Thomas Jane who does a real good job. a film about values, justice and revenge. few memorable story - the huge Russian and the ignorant friends, the family moments and , sure, John Travolta in a role who reminds many others from his filmography but remains interesting. a film who respects its basic idea and this is the motif to give more than kicks and enormous confrontations, blood and explosions. but a coherent story, not always credible but for fans of cartoons and for the admirers of true fights could be enough. and, best detail, not only for this categories of public because the story real works . short, a good film. or just pure entertainment.

Thomas Jane, I think, was a great choice to play 'the punisher'. However, due to various acting choices and writing choices for the movie it lacks real intent of the movie. The editing team also takes blame for how poorly this movie was received. It tried, very hard, to be a good comic book movie. But, in the end, it just patronized the fan base. Mostly, due to the company who financed this film not realizing the 'ideal' or 'good' of a Punisher film compared to the comic books. Secondly, casting people like John Tavolta was a horrible choice. He wasn't even close to being believable as the 'bad guy'. In the end, the movie failed to become a good movie because the company you made this movie did not realize that the fan base wasn't looking for a generic revenge movie but a real life character who can kick ass as an emotional and in depth character.

An undercover FBI agent becomes a vigilante assassin and sets out to unleash his wrath upon the corrupt businessman who slaughtered his entire family at a reunion.The Punisher has had a rough ride in Hollywood. So far as I know, the first Punisher film was in the 1980s and is all but forgotten. Then this one came along, and is probably the best known and most successful. But apparently not successful enough to have the star (Thomas Jane) appear in the sequel, which brought in Ray Stevenson. And what is the deal with John Travolta as the bad guy? Was he still riding the wave from "Pulp Fiction", or maybe this was a small hump after "Swordfish"? Anyway, what they did here was a strange departure. You have the very core of the character -- a man avenging his family -- but that is about it. The FBI agent angle is a bit lame. Sure, you can't have him be a Vietnam vet anymore, but why not Desert Storm? It will be interesting to see how well the Punisher blends in to the "Daredevil" TV series. I feel like that will be the best incarnation yet, and who knows... maybe we will someday get the film we deserve. Though it is not likely, since we're still recovering from an endless stream of "Fantastic Four" and "Ghost Rider".
