Ok, I hated this movie. There was nothing about it that was good. I don't understand the people who told me that this was the "best Punisher movie" to come out. They were clearly delusional. I suspect hallucinations brought on by food poisoning since they all seemed to have recovered their reason in a short amount of time.
Frank Castle (Ray Stevenson) is on a one-man mission to clean up New York City by taking down various organized crime families. He accidentally shoots an undercover FBI agent during one of these stings and is immediately wracked with guilt. The surviving mobster, cut up by glass shards, renames himself Jigsaw (Dominic West) and swears vengeance on Castle. In order to draw the vigilante out, Jigsaw and his brother, Loony Bin Jim (Doug Hutchison), abduct the FBI agent's widow (Julie Benz) and child (Stephanie Janusauskas).
This had some of the worst accents I have ever heard delivering terrible lines of dialogue, completely unrelieved by any attempts at humor. You know I'm a fan of gratuitous violence but you have to throw in something a little different every so often so the audience doesn't get desensitized. After thirty minutes, I was bored by people getting shot in the face. That is a feeling you want to avoid in an action movie.
