I like this movie because it reminds me a lot of one of my favorite games; Max Payne. Frank Castle is on his last mission, and kills the son of Howard Saint. Howard's wife tells him to kill Frank's family. I love the plot about Frank Castle punishing those who killed his family. It sucked that everyone in Frank's family died. EVERYONE! I love that skull shirt! Frank eventually becomes friends with Dave, Bumpo and Joan and moves in with them. While he's there, he plans his punishment against Howard Saint. There are a lot of awesome action sequences! If you love action, Max Payne, and Marvel comic movies, you'll love THE PUNISHER!!!
Okay this was a good movie, not mind blowing, but definitely gritty. In my book, this deserved a sequel and not the train wreck that is "War Zone".

This release falls short.
LionsGate should have polished the film for the HD release. I imagine they ported the exact DVD release. There are no trailers or extras, just a "Blu-Ray Experice" trailer... probably the best looking part of this release.
Throughout the film I see grain, it seems grains are absent in the scenes with ample lighting, which is bad because it's a dark film.
I recommend holding out for an ultimate edition (please LionsGate!). But for $12 bucks it's good if you haven't seen it.
This is NOT for collector's!!
