RELEASE: 2004; GENERE: Action/Adventure; RUN-TIME: 2hrs, 20 mins RATED: Rated: R for pervasive brutal violence, language and brief nudity. SYNOPSIS: Tom Jane stars as Frank Castle, the Punisher, squaring off against superstar John Travolta as the story's formidable villain, Howard Saint. Frank Castle is a man who has seen much death in his life both as a Delta Force Op and FBI special agent. He is ready to start a normal life with his wife and son. However, on his final assignment, the operation spins out of control and a young man, Bobby Saint, the son of Howard Saint (John Travolta), is inadvertently killed. Behind their wealth and social profile, the Saints have violent underworld ties and a chilling capacity for brutality. Inflamed by the death of their son, the Saints are willing to risk their newfound legitimacy on a wholesale mission of blood-vengeance. Drawing upon all he has learned in 20 years, Castle sets in motion a plan to punish the murderers.
REVIEW:One of our neighbors gave us this to watch. Even though we had seen it a many years ago, we liked it and decided to watch it again. Even though it never garnered very good reviews whenit first came out, we thought that it provided a pretty good story and some great action scenes. John Travolta was excellent as the villain of the movie. There were several scenes that actually provided a few laughs. In spite of the critics, we gave it [3.5 Stars].
