Woohoo. This one is overdue since the car was on the forefront.
The Punisher.
WOW. It has been awhile since a movie made me say wow. But this one did. The explosions, the cars, girls, GUNS and hell, everything else about this movie made my loins light afire.
Here's the plot. If you don't know who the Punisher is by now, you should be crotch kicked until your you're a foot taller. The Punisher is a Marvel comic book hero (sort of) that runs around and kills bad guys. He is taking revenge for a past experience that destroyed his good life (or bad one, depends on how you look at it) and turned him into a gun toting, bad guy killing poster child for the NRA. This guy has more guns than Ted Nugent. He uses them too. He shoots people in the head, arms, legs and everywhere else a growing mobster gets it.
The Punisher is played by a relative newcomer Thomas Jane who has been in such memorables as Boogie Nights, Dreamcatcher and The Thin Red Line. He reminds me of a younger Christopher Lambert but 10 times cooler. It was an interesting start to see him acting and then switch over to the stiff Frank Castle persona. You'll see what I mean if you go see it.
John Travolta is in this one as well. While ol John does play a bad guy, it's getting old. He and Sam Jackson need to go to refinishing school. They both play the same character in every movie they are in. John not as bad as Sam. Johns cool, tough bad guy thing works well and it is still a pleasure to watch, but someone please do something with him other than the half crazed, ultra smart cia/drug kingpin/nuke stealing terror. I want to see more.
The movie flows well and though some of the characters are hokey (The Russian) they are enjoyable. I thought this was a great little sidespin to the revenge movies as of late. There was a love interest that got squashed right into the floor. Revenge ain't got no time for love and thank god, neither did the Punisher. No sappy, crappy woman to make him put his guns down and cry. "There, there Frank, let it all out, that's a good boy" No one has any time for that shit. Let's blow stuff up and make people wreck cars and sing songs about blowing stuff up and wrecking cars. Thats what I want to see.
So I give this one an 8. It sure was fulfilling. I hear Man on Fire is a little more rough. Can't wait to see that one. Been lazy but i'm getting round to it.
