 This was my favorite theatrical release for last year, if you missed it on the big screen now is your chance to own it. The Punisher from the 80's was ok, and the one from '04 sucked balls. This one makes up for that. There ain't no pussies like Thomas Jane in sight. This time we got the real deal, Ray Stevenson, who happens to look just like Frank Castle in the more recent comics. This movie really brought the comics to life. Beautifully done, it reminded me of the comics growing up as well as the new ones by Garth Ennis. West was amazing as Jigsaw. Seriously... this movie was amazing. If you are a fan of the Punisher you have to get this.

 Special features on this one include a commentary track with the director and the director of photography. Several featurettes on the making of, training, the weapons of and more. The second disc was kind of pointless. It's just there so you can get a digital copy of the movie. I don't understand having a disc, but still having to get online to be able to get it. Should just be either with the disc or online, not both. Lame.

Verdict: * * * * *
