This dark action film, based on the comic book series, follows FBI agent Frank Castle (Thomas Jane) as he transforms into the vengeful Punisher after criminals murder his family, including his wife and son. Castle is gravely injured in the attack and believed to be dead by Howard Saint (John Travolta), the crime lord who ordered the hit. Following his recovery, Castle becomes a heavily armed vigilante who will stop at nothing to exact revenge on Saint and dismantle his underworld empire.

    I always really liked this film. It’s a comic book adaptation so you can just gloss over some minor plot details but it’s darker in tone than a lot of contemporary hero films which suits the Punisher character. Also I think Tom Jane did an awesome job in the title role and it’s a shame he didn’t get the chance to reprise it in a sequel. Imagine if we’d got two early 2000s marvel trilogies in Blade and The Punisher!

      Honestly it's my favorite version of the punisher. I don't understand why some people dislike it. Jane was able to bring a lot of dimensions to the role. They cared so much about getting it right that when the teaser dropped and fans complained the symbol looked cartoony, they went back and changed it to a washed out look that you see in the movie.

    I will die on this hill saying that this is the best representation of The Punisher to date--even the Netflix series couldn't hold a candle to this, IMO. The mood, the action and the portrayal by Jane, (who like the comic character only says very little after his loss) really gave it their best regardless of their budget and time limitation. Also, a lot of this was taken right out of the Garth Ennis/Steve Dillon comic (and the ice cream torture scene from another Punisher comic), so that was awesome to see.

    Marvel's Punisher character is based on the fictional character, Mack Bolan, the Executioner, a series of novels that began in 1969. He's a Vietnam veteran who winds up in a war with the Mafia.

    Thomas Jane gives an amazing performance in The Mist. Well worth checking out. The Punisher was a Spider-Man villain when first appeared in the mid-70s and by the 80s became an anti-hero. His original orgin was he was on a picnic with his wife and 2 young children and they witnessed a mob hit. The mob killed his family and thought killed him. The Garth Ennis Punisher story Welcome Back Frank was a major influence on this film. Frank's neighbors and the Russian are from that.

      He wasn't really a Spider-man "villain". He was an adversary to Spider-man because he was convinced by public perception and was fooled by The Jackal into hunting him because he was convinced he was a dangerous, super human, mutant criminal. But after fighting him a few times he saw that Spider-man was actually a hero. That's where Marvel missed a big opportunity in the last Spider-man movie. When everyone saw Peter Parker as a bad guy for killing Mysterio they could have used part of the story of Punisher's original appearance to debut Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle in the MCU the same way they debuted Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock.

    The curved object Saint's other son picked up that said Front towards enemy was not a bomb, but a military grade Claymore Antipersonnel Mine.
    Even more interesting is that there is a story going around that the actor that played The Russian actually got stabbed by the real butterfly knife during the fight scene. They forgot to use the prop knife.
    The other son could not throw the mine at The Punisher because the trip wire was attached to the cord over his head. When the tripwire is moved, it goes off..

    Fun fact about the fight scene with "The Russian"... the balisong he stabbed into Waldo's chest was supposed to be a prop knife, but he had the wrong one. Thomas Jane actually stabbed the guy, and he just kept going with the scene like nothing happened. The blood on his shirt is very real.

      Fun fact about that fight: The part where Thomas Jane stabbed Kevin Nash was actually real. Obviously, in most movies, they use fake knives or digital effects to make a stab look real, but in this case, they forgot to switch out the props between takes, and Kevin got stabbed with a real knife. They kept it in the movie because both actor's genuine reactions made the scene better.

    Love this movie!
    This is actually the second film adaptation of the comic book character.
    The first was Dolph Lungdren in the 1989 version of the same name.
    Lindgren plays a New York police officer, Frank Castle, trying to bring down a mob boss corrupting his precinct but when he gets too close, they kill his wife and kid with a car bomb. Castle spends years to exact his revenge against those responsible
    The third adaptation was played by Ray Stevenson in Punisher War Zone in 2008. It was intended to be a sequel to the first film, but it was cancelled due to the poor box office performance of Thomas Jane's Punisher.
    The fourth iteration of the character was Netflix's Punisher, played by Jon Bernthal.

    Frank: Dad you know we never had trouble like that in these waters before.

    Punisher warzone starring Ray Stevenson is a Punisher movie in-line with the awesome and uber violent punisher max comic series. It's not an origin story either which I prefer especially when you're making a stand-alone movie. The Punisher is a relentless, merciless vigilante that just won't die. No superpowers here but his will is undeniable.
