10x better than the 2004 version

Fast paced, gritty, and extra violent, this movie is everything the newer version should've been but is precieved as a bad film. That is not true. Dolphs acting is wooden but it suits the character; you see no life in his eyes. Lou Gosset junior is badass also. I love the part where he escapes out of the handcuffs, knocks the guy out and eats his pizza. The Yakuza villians were awesome too, espescially the last 15 minutes of hte movie where Dolph walks around like a viscious killing machine nonchalantly killing EVERYTHING. The shoot outs, car chases, and stunts are more stylized and thought out.
There is way more action in this movie and the kidnapping is cool how Punisher is forced to rescue evil mob bosses sons so that the children can live. The only thing missing from this movie that could make it better is the white skull logo on The Punisher's shirt.
