The Punisher PSP UMD Movie MODEL- 17910 VENDOR- UMD MOVIE FEATURES- The Punisher PSP Movie An ordinary lawman goes outside the law to carry out his own brand of justice in this dark-themed thriller. Frank Castle (Thomas Jane) is an FBI agent who deeply loves his wife and son, but is also strongly devoted to his work. Castles investigation of a powerful crime cartel leads to a gunfight which claims the life of a young boy, whose father is underworld kingpin Howard Saint (John Travolta). Furious and eager for revenge, Saint arranges for Castle and his family to be murdered in retaliation. However, while Castles wife and son are killed, he somehow survives, even though hes believed to have perished. Bent on stopping Saint once and for all, Castle remakes himself as The Punisher, a ruthless and heavily armed killing machine who will not rest until Saint and his crew have been wiped clean from the Earth. Based on a Marvel Comics character first introduced in 1974, The Punisher also stars Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Laura Elena Harring, Roy Scheider, and Kevin "Big Sexy" Nash. -- SPECIFICATIONs ----------------------------------- MPAA Rating : R Genre : Action Thriller, Comic-Book Superhero Film Theatrical Date : 2004 Run Time : 123 minutes Distributor/Studio: Lions Gate sonystyle.com

Description of The Punisher [UMD for PSP]:
The impressively muscular chest of Tom Jane is the focal point of The Punisher, a movie based on a Marvel Comics superhero. Frank Castle (Jane, Deep Blue Sea) retires from the FBI, which means--as any moviegoer expects--that his family is toast. Howard Saint (John Travolta, Face/Off), a shady Florida businessman whose son was killed in Castle's last mission, orders a hit not only on Castle's wife and child, but also on his parents and a whole bunch of aunts, uncles, cousins, and so forth. The killers shoot Castle himself in the chest, but he inexplicably survives and--as any moviegoer expects--sets out to even the score. Implausibly, given his sometimes curious and roundabout methods, he succeeds. Also featuring Will Patton (Armageddon) as an oily thug, Laura Harring (Mulholland Drive) as Saint's fleshpot wife, and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos (X-Men) as a waitress with bad taste in men. --Bret Fetzer

The Punisher [UMD for PSP] Reviews:
Punisher Blu-Ray Review
2008-10-04 - Okay this was a good movie, not mind blowing, but definitely gritty. In my book, this deserved a sequel and not the train wreck that is "War Zone".

* * * * * Blu-Ray Review * * * * *

This release falls short.
LionsGate should have polished the film for the HD release. I imagine they ported the exact DVD release. There are no trailers or extras, just a "Blu-Ray Experice" trailer... probably the best looking part of this release.
Throughout the film I see grain, it seems grains are absent in the scenes with ample lighting, which is bad because it's a dark film.

I recommend holding out for an ultimate edition (please LionsGate!). But for $12 bucks it's good if you haven't seen it.
This is NOT for collector's!!

Excellent!!!!!!!
2008-10-03 - Well, I am totally biased here on this movie. It was filmed in my hometown of Tampa. I still think it's an excellent movie though. Besides "The Dark Knight", this is my favorite comic book movie so far. I like the darkside of it.

Castle for the timid
2008-09-12 - this movie was a big disappointment for me. it didn't have the extremes that i'm used to with the punisher. i actually prefer the punisher film starring Lundgren over this one because it had more action, but i wouldn't recommend it as a great film either. i like how the punisher's origin was done in the film starring Lundgren with flashbacks to show how he's tormented and how it drives him. the Lundgren version also has a comic book/campy feel to it that makes it more entertaining and enjoyable.

luckily there's another punisher film coming out that looks like it'll be extremely violent and over the top.

regular dvd version
2008-09-09 - while the movie itself is awsome, i ordered it to get the mini comic book as well, but there wasn't any. even after amazon had happiely sent me a replacement product there still was no mini-comic book

Cheap
2008-07-28 - I ordered this movie because I wanted it in HD. I have the regular DVD and I watch it more than all my other DVDs. I got it cheap and very quick.
Me happy, me likey.
