The Punisher (2004)

The Punisher (2004) – It draws heavily from Ennis’s work while taking some readily forgivable liberties with the character (oh my God, he’s in TAMPA, you guys), and with Jane in the lead and a cast of quirky characters, this is a very satisfying revengepunish-em-up—that it gets a little more creative than straightforwardly blowing everyone away just makes it more interesting; while it’s got some rough spots, to date, this is easily the best film we’ve gotten with “Punisher” in the title. 7
