The Punisher
And I thought I had a rough week. Next time I think I am having a bad day, I am gonna think of this guy. This was a very cool movie if you like seeing people get shot, hit, stabbed, blown up, cut, or otherwise injured.
I will give you a basic plot summary without ruining anything too major...
This FBI dude named Frank is like Mr. bigshot cop, and makes this huge bust. It goes kinda bad cause almost all the witnesses are killed by the swat team. One of those dead guys happens to be the son of a rich-as-a-mofo mob guy. The mob guy wants revenge on whoever killed his son, so he has Franks ENTIRE family killed. I dont mean his wife and kids, I mean his entire family. They catch him at a family reunion and kill every family member he has. We are talking brothers, parents, neices, nephews, and everyone else. It was messed up. They try to kill frank but somehoe he survives getting shot at point blank range... I dont quite get that part but it was still cool.
Anyhow Needless to say Frank is pretty pissed off. He goes to work trying to find out everything he can about the guys that did this to him and starts killing all of them, but it isnt quite that shallow. He turns them against eachother and all Hell breaks loose. It is definately one of the most violent movies I have seen in a while. Not as bloody as kill bill, but close.
One chick gets dropped in front of a train, 2 people get run over by a truck, one guy gets boiling water thrown in his face and tossed down a flight of stairs, another guy gets the blade from a paper cutter brought down on his forhead, some one gets shot through the neck with a bow and arrow, some one gets stabbed in the jaw up through the mouth, another guy gets stabbed inthe neck with some kind of projectile knife, One guy gets tied to a land line with a crank chain so that when he cant hold it up any more he gets blown up and another guy gets sot, drug through a parkinglot behind a car and then blown up. I think that is all of the creative deaths. There are countless oter shootings and stuff but those are the interesting ones.
The only thing that really bothered me about the movie is that it is set in Tamp Florida. I didnt quite get why that city was movie worthy. i always thought tampa was plural for tampon. Despite that, it was still a very cool film, and worth the 8 bucks which is rare these days.
Revenge is cool.
