The thinking man's Punisher?


Guy seeks revenge against gangsters who killed his wife and child and left him for dead. Guy is a one-man killing machine adept at guns, explosives and a penchant for killing his enemies in elaborate ways.

If they ever make a movie about Mack Bolan (aka The Executioner, the original inspiration for The Punisher) they could do worse than consider Farrell. He even vaguely looks like Mack Bolan from those old paperbacks...

i was thinking about the punisher the whole way through... especially when he was in his hidden room, watching the video of his daughter and wife...

all i could think was, "yeah, i suppose he could pass for sicilian if he needed to... this could be frank castiglione"

he would have done a better job than dolph, jane, and stevenson...

I was thinking about the Punisher as well.

Nice try, Lao Che!

I see what you did there. But it never made me think because it was always laboured in it's approach.
